Are you in the UK and obsessed with the US Civil War? Want the best US speakers to come to you to talk Vicksburg Campaign? Want to top it off by staying in a hotel once used to house and spy on SWW German Generals? Then book the #acwrtuk April 17-19 2026 Conference now! I’m going.

Some dodgy Irishman speaking today at the #acwrtuk Conference on Europeans at the Battle of First Bull Run…

A short break in preparing a paper for the #acwrtuk conference: it’s the Destroyermen and a pint of @greeneking Imperial IPA. Quite appropriate given the Imperial allies of the Destroyermen! 📚 🍺 #readingndrinking

This afternoon I am mostly mining for Europeans who might have been at the Battle of Bull Run for a talk I’m giving later this month at the #acwrtuk conference. So far it’s 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇮🇪 🇮🇹 🇭🇺 and 🇩🇪. More work to do!

A raffle win at Saturday’s #ACWRTUK talk (an amazing talk by Bryan Gladstone on Lee’s generalship). An oldie (1978) but praised by other members. We’ll see 📚 #histbookchat

There’s an ever diminishing window to join us at the #ACWRTUK Conference this year in April. The subject: both Battles of Bull Run. Your truly is speaking about Europeans and First Bull Run www.acwrt.org.uk/event-detail...

Starting research for my talk at April’s #acwrtuk conference which, this year, is on both battles of Bull Run. In order to understand the experience of the soldiers I’m talking about at First Bull Run, I’ve got to remind myself of the flow of the battle.📚 🇺🇸 #histbookchat

Spending a rewarding afternoon researching Europeans who served at the First Battle of Bull Run/Manassas. Especially looking for those who left letters or memoirs of the battle. If you know any give me a shout. #uscivilwar #acwrtuk #battleofbullrun

After a peaceful transfer of power at the AGM of the American Civil War Roundtable UK from President Somerville to President Lee, and two great talks on Hatcher’s Run and Joseph Warren Revere, I returned home to two great Civil War books! 📚 🍻 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 #acwrtuk #histbookchat

Yesterday, on the way to an #acwrtuk talk in London I raided Any Amount of Books shop and came away some serious aristocrats…

Great talk in the Civil Service Club today with #acwrtuk: Ian Hope, chief historian at NATO, on ‘West Point, Military Science and the Civil War’.
