Many thanks to Drs.

“Canadians Repairing a Track Under Shellfire” by Innes Meo, 1919, #CanadianWarMuseum.

The artist served as a subaltern on the #WesternFront in the #GreatWar. He left us this piece showing the routine labour of the trenches in combat. Of course, there was nothing routine about it. #fwwhist #CEF #BEF

I love thumbing through old copies of Punch. This amusing cartoon comes from the issue of 27/6/1917. Much of the magazine's humour is specific to that era, but this one will be recognizable to almost all professional soldiers. Enjoy...

Excited to present my research at #ECTE2026. If you're interested in how biodiversity-ecosystem functioning #BEF relationships can change over the course of a decade, come to HS5 at 14:30 on Thursday! 🌿🐝🕙

“Ypres Salient at Night” by Paul Nash, 1918, #IWMCollection.

In night combat, the landscape is often lit by the weird, eerie light of star shells and flares. The artist captured this atmosphere perfectly in the painting.

I follow the Western Front Ass’n on youtube. I just finished an absolute master class on Sir Douglas Haig and his command philosophy. Phil Watson is the lecturer and he is nothing short of outstanding. The quality is that of a staff college seminar.

My first full-length album, #HomeSounds, is in the @hartshornmusic.bsky.social sale. The few remaining CDs are just £2. I made the LP wanting to evoke how I felt listening to ‘Music for Stowaways’ by #BEF, on a #Walkman - albeit with my vocals and so it’s very much a #lofi travelogue. #synthsky

“The Coldstream Guards at Landrecies, August, 1914”by William Barnes Wollen, Alamy.

This is one of my favourite paintings. The action at Landrecies on 25/8/1914 has been well documented, and the artist tells a vivid story in this piece.

"Zero Hour" by James Prinsep Beadle, 1918, #IWM. Surrounded by his soldiers, a British platoon commander counts down on his watch. The seconds tick by until the fateful moment when they will go over the top. #westernfront #ww1 #GreatWar #BritishArmy #BEF #pbi

Today we remember Private Frederick Duffield of the #9thLancers #BEF Killed in action 111 years ago today as the Germans took #Messines in late 1914. We had the honour in taking his descendants their family and friends on his great war journey in our early days.

“Fatalist” by Will Dyson, “Australia at War”, 1918.

Will Dyson’s created gritty and visceral art. His moving drawings are a window into the combat experience of #WorldWarI.

Registering a trade union with only 20 workers, create instability in the labour market of Bangladesh: BEF Some proposed amendments to the new labour law may fail to protect workers’ rights, especially the option of registering a trade union with only 20 workers, which could create instability in the labour market of Bangladesh. In addition, oversimplification of the trade union registration process could also discourage Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Business leaders made […] The post Registering a trade union with only 20 workers, create instability in the labour market of Bangladesh: BEF appeared first on Textile Focus.

‘Bringing up the Stew’ by Will Dyson from “Australia at War, 1918. In a scene repeated countless times, two #diggers carry hot chow up the line on the Western Front. Will Dyson is my favourite #WWI combat artist. His simple yet moving art is so evocative. #GreatWar #WorldWar1 #AIF #BEF

Another nice little charity shop find, a plate commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Dunkirk evacuation...... this anniversary itself was 35 years ago! Not bad for £5 and a great addition to my collection.

Martin Koenigsberg's review of Dunkirk the British Evacuation, 1040 4/5: Robert Jackson is a writer of histories and adventure fiction- so it is not surprising that he presents us a taut package on the Fall of France and the Battle of Dunkirk. This book was written in...
