Book the wild blue
Making a later contribution to #PhotoFriday - George McGovern was a pretty interesting figuring - looking forward to learning more about his WW2/SWW service and the unit he served with.
This book was also at the center of the Stephen Ambrose plagiarism issue.

A stage filled with people performing a play, wearing Tudor style costumes. The men wear tunics and tights, and the women long dresses.
To celebrate #ShakespeareWeek we visit this crowded stage at Herbert Strutt School, Belper, in the 1950s. The play Twelfth Night is being performed and you can’t help but be impressed by the detailed costumes.

Inside a Buddhist Temple, China. From a collection of slides relating to Dugald Christie, who went to Manchuria with his wife in 1882 to work as a medical missionary of the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland. He retired in 1923 and died in 1936. (CSWC47/LS8/36) #PhotoFriday

Street scene. Large groups of people on the pavements on both sides of the street. People queuing for a bus in the bottom left of the photo. Accompanying signage informing where buses from the stop go to. Shop fronts and advertisements on both sides. Multi story buildings on either side of the road. The backs of vehicles are in the middle of the street including a male figure pulling a cart in the mid bottom right. Pedestrians are crossing the road.
#PhotoFriday This bustling scene of New Street taken not long after the end of WW2, c 1946. The city was slowly emerging from the war and there are a few echoes of the recent past in the photo– notice the uniformed figures? Ref: New Street 162 #LibraryofBham #Brumpic

The cover of the book “Goodfellas” by Nicholas Pileggi, which has photos of the characters played by Ray Liotta, Robert DeNiro, Paul Sorvino and Joe Pesci on the cover
For this weeks #histbookchat, #photofriday and #booksky, “Goodfellas” by Nicholas Pileggi (originally published as “Wiseguys”, and the source material for Martin Scorsese’s movie “Goodfellas”) may not strictly be history, but it does sort of explain current developments in US politics.

This #photofriday I am reading ‘Nippon Slaves’ by Lionel de Rosario. Lionel was a member of the Singapore Volunteer Corps. He was imprisoned in Changi as a POW and later forced to work on the Thai-Burna Railway at the remote Songkurai camp just south of the Thai border with Burma. #histbookchat /2

#PhotoFriday I realized I had pictures of Emily Chan (of Howe and Chan in Olympics pairs skating) from her singles days. She performed in the Galleria's #figureskating exhibition, Beauty Live, in 2016. #Flickr flic.kr/p/25J8EXc

I was locked out of Bluesky all day yesterday and now I’m waiting on a bus to take me away for the weekend. Not ideal for #photofriday so just a quick offering this week: ‘The Singapore Chinese Massacre’ which I finished the other day and ‘Staff Wallah’ which is my current read. #histbookchat

Book opening Manassas
I'm reading this before I start on a history of the 2nd Manassas. This book takes a different approach with the coauthors presenting the lead up and battle from a US and CS perspective.

Three soldiers each with their arm in a sling, smile at the camera. One stands behind a bench with a nurse in white aprons and starched caps standing each side of him. The other two sit on a bench in front with a nurse sitting in the middle. The nurses are looking to the side laughing and the one on the bench has her face in her hands.
On #InternationalDayofHappiness you can’t help but smile at this picture. These are wounded soldiers and their nurses during the First World War. We wish we knew what had been said, because it’s certainly put a smile on everyone’s faces.

The interior of a reading room in a Victorian era library. The photograph is taken from a high point looking down at the room. A packed room of students sat at desks in the centre of the photograph. A bookcase on the far right and a much larger and expansive bookcase in the background separated from the reading room by a series of stone pillars. Two busts on either side of the entrance to the room in the back midground of the photo.
#PhotoFriday today is this view of studious readers in the Interior Reading Room in the Reference Library at the Central Library in Ratcliffe Place way back in April 1949. Imagine all the shushing back then. Ref – WK/B11/8530 #LibraryofBham #Brumpic

Book Boom Town
This seemed like a pretty interesting book when it came out, and since we're planning to visit Oklahoma City this summer, it seemed like a good time to read it.

We are looking into a tent where four men in their pyjamas are sitting amongst blankets on the floor. They each have a mug and are drinking from them. They look as if they have just woken up.
How lovely to wake up in the morning to a good cup of tea? These men are doing just that though we can’t say if they’ve had a good night’s sleep. They’re camping at Kinder Scout in the #1960s and we’re just not sure how comfortable that tent was.

A hardcover book by Michael Knights titled “25 Days to Aden: The unknown story of Arabian elite forces at war” The cover features an image of two inflatable boats full of special forces soldiers that have just been dropped into the ocean from two CH-47 Chinook helicopters
For this weeks #histbookchat, #photofriday and #booksky, I’m in the middle of “25 Days to Aden” by Michael Knights, which describes operations against the Houthis in Yemen by UAE SOF in 2015 ( which does seem a bit topical at the moment)1/3
