When you see millions of the mouthless dead
Across your dreams in pale battalions go,
Say not soft things as other men have said,
That you’ll remember. For you need not so…

Tish Murtha’s photographs of childhood in the Seventies are just the best. So evocative, every frame a time capsule.

There’s a wee exhibition about Billy Bishop at the airport named after him. I visited the graves of Ball and McCudden a month ago in France. I guess they knew each other.

The worst single day of Allied losses on the Western Front and one you’ve likely never heard of.
In just 12+ hours:
🇫🇷 23,615 French dead
🇬🇧 8,581 British dead
A day almost erased from memory.
Today remember Champagne, Artois & Loos

140 years ago, on the 12th of September 1885, Arbroath F.C. defeated Bon Accord F.C. 36 to 0 in the first round of the Scottish Cup. It remains the largest margin of victory in an unrigged first-class #football match. Bon Accord was only a year old at the time of the match. 🗃️ #otd
