Burn the Book!
This magnificent piece by Australian artist Will Longstaff is entitled “8 August 1918” and depicts events in the first day of the Battle of Amiens. The was the start of the Hundred Days that led to the end of the Great War. #AustralianWarMemorial #WorldWarI #AIF #Amiens #WesternFront #tankThursday
“The Gunners, France”by H. Septimus Power, 1924. #AustralianWarMemorial This magnificent piece depicts an 18-pounder QF section firing on the Western Front during the Third Battle of Ypres in 1917. #fww #fwwhist #wwI #ww1 #RoyalAustralianArtillery #RAA #gunners
If I have any mates in striking distance of Canberra then I'd love to see you at this in October. Big thanks to
@karljames1945.bsky.social at the #australianwarmemorial and to the wonderful Christine Helliwell (whose book SEMUT is a must read) for agreeing to join me.

I watched this last night. And I'm angry about the War Porn that has been done to #AustralianWarMemorial put forward by both the #NeoLiberal parties the #ALP& #LNP and the #Armsdealers putting their blood money into the #AWM. #War #History
Combined with all the corruption being shown, having a war criminal involved in your war memorial isn't memorialisng the horrors of war. It's glorifying war and wasting money on them is bad as wasting money on war. #4corners #AustralianWarMemorial This was Canberra corruption with Fat Beazley.
Taken from the lawns of Old Parliament House looking over Lake Burley Griffin and up Anzac Parade to the Australian War Memorial.
Happy Canberra Day!

Cover of Caitlin DeAngelis’ ‘The Caretakers: War Graves Gardeners and the Secret Battle to Rescue Allied Airmen in World War II’
This sounds like a really interesting #HistoryRead. Will recommend to the #NationalLibraryOfAustralia & the #AustralianWarMemorial for their collections.
