On this day, 15 September, the Guards Division launched their attack in the Battle of Flers-Courcelette. Faced with terrible machine gun fire from the Quadrilateral the attack lost direction and got no further than this point

I enjoyed recording a 'Mentioned in Dispatches' podcast this morning with @kensingtons.bsky.social for the Western Front Association on my book 'The Guards 1915-17: An Elite Division at War'. It should be available in the New Year. Meanwhile, an ebook version has been released today by Helion

A quick short message to say to all my friends, I am now posting on BlueSky when I can, and it will be a slow start. So, here goes as a first post, some of my images from this years photographic trips and at home here at RSPB Minsmere.

Crested tit in the ancient forests of Scotland. A photographic workshop by Pete Walkden.

If you are researching the British military history of the First World War, the chances are you have already made use of Chris Baker's invaluable web site www.longlongtrail.co.uk.

Having seen quite a few WW1 related starter packs that haven't counted me in, I can only conclude I do not feature among the cognoscenti. Oh, well. C'est la guerre.
