As we head into the final week before #Christmas, it's interesting to think what the run-up was like 100 years ago, so soon after the #armistice100 . I offer a glimpse in current issue of @TheEList_e17 -focus on #Walthamstow and environs #christmasgiftguide #shopping #WWI
In case youβd forgotten, βmedia executive and political strategistβ Steve Bannon is part of the opening morning of #nx18 Wednesday.
Weβve just had #Armistice100, with dire warnings of the dangers of nationalism, and civil society talking about the future at the #ParisPeaceForum.
@WW1CC The Cathedral Shrine of the Transfiguration rang its bell at 11 a.m., November 11. Shrine Mont, Orkney Spring Virginia, Episcopal Diocese of Virginia. https://youtu.be/b1CzgH-YZrw #Armistice100
I am soooooooo tired! But I am so glad I was able to participate in #Armistice100 and walk in #ANationsThankYou

Had a lovely time discussing the #armistice100 ceremony in Paris at @France24_en - thanks for having me!

#11november: today is the100 anniversary of #ArmisticeDay100 that ended #WW1. 10+million people died. Many were young people. #LestWeForget. To build the #FutureofEurope let's remember the value of peace & the cost of war. #Armistice100 #PL100 #IamEuropean #FBPE #ParisPeaceForum
An amazing local studies and First World War resource...search your local area for details of those killed and their families. https://astreetnearyou.org #Lestweforget #Armistice100 #FirstWorldWar #localhistory #WW1
Another recommendation on #Armistice100 to follow (& catch up with) @ChrisKempshall's tweets, which are describing the development of the #Armistice on the ground in November 1918 #FWW #WW1 #1GM #1WK
Additional thought on this much-misquoted passage from Binyon's 'For the Fallen'. We can read this not just as a solemn stating of the obvious but perhaps also as a moment of envy: the men lost would not suffer the consequences the Great War would leave in its wake. #armistice100
Remembering my Gt grandfather Herbert Edward Shrimpton: pvte, Royal Warwicks. Killed Battle of Poelcappelle, Ypres 9 Oct 1917 aged 36. Commemorated Tyne Cot Memorial. Left widow Charlotte & 2 daughters, youngest (my Nan) just 6 weeks old. #Armistice100 #WW1 #RemembranceDay2018
'Do you ever stop and ask, "Is it all going to happen again?"'
Moving reading by Jeremy Irons of Siegfried Sassoon's WWI classic, 'Aftermath'. #armistice100

Not sure about you, but I reckon it appropriate today to air once more this Larkin classic.
Never such innocence again.

Twelve hours on, two hours to go, one last reminder. #armistice100
My grandfather fought in #WWI. Luckily he came home. Luckily again, he came home to a nation that recognized his service by granting him citizenship.

Lest We Forget #Armistice100 2018.
On my own path to the Armistice from Afghanistan, and how service helps us cope with war.

Bear in mind, as we mark tomorrow, people died on both sides in WWI - believing, no doubt, their side was right. They faced horrors and suffered tragedies the like of which most will never experience. So please, in the still of tomorrow's silence, remember them all. #armistice100
Been tinkering with my poem 'Tour of duty' for eight years (less a day). I think now's the appropriate time to stop. #armistice100
I'm with Rhiannon on this. Wearing a poppy won't bring you closer to those who lost their lives to war. Reading poetry by those who were there just might. #armistice100

We remember the @HopkinsMedicine & @JHUNursing men and women who served on the front lines of military medicine during World War I. Learn more about their experiences and contributions: #Armistice100 #WWI #HistNursing #histmed
Really wish I could be at the Liberty Memorial this weekend. If you're in #KansasCity, there's no reason you shouldn't be. #Armistice100...
