I just finished recording with @battleguide.bsky.social on the fascinating evolution of historical military maps.

We talked about: "How digitizing trench maps can bring history to life and enhance our understanding of the battlefields."

Thanks Dudley Giles, for a great discussion

Every year on 11 November Lincoln and North Lincolnshire Branch of the WFA remember the Fallen at one of the most unusual locations for a FWW Memorial I’ve ever visited. Thorpe le Fallows placed their memorial on the site of an ancient church… in a field way off the beaten track. #Resurgam

I’ve supported Crystal Palace for over 60 years. What a day 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

I could have researched and written a proper book in the time I've spent on this! I've had a look at the competition and I may have gone a bit too far, but hopefully it'll stand out from the crowd!

As always, I'm pretty late to the party and currently in the corner marked "Billy, no mates". Still trying to work out how this platform works but I will get there eventually. I suppose I ought to start with the profile 😉😎
