This #photofriday I am reading ‘Galleghan’s Greyhounds’ with the 2/30th currently on the retreat to Singapore. It’s a great read!
My offering this week is a book on the CO which I read in 2023 - ‘Black Jack: The Life and Times of Brigadier Sir Frederick Galleghan’ by Stan Arneil. #histbookchat

A drone view of waves crashing onto a beach. The water is deep teal, the waves are white, and the sand is orange and tan.
CIRES people don't just lead and support ground-breaking science — they are also incredible nature photographers!
This incredible aerial photograph of waves crashing on the beach in Todos Santos, Baja Sur, Mexico, is a 2025-2026 #CIRESPhotoContest winner! #PhotoFriday

John Hennessy boom return to bull run
One of the gaps in my knowledge of the American Civil War is the Battle of Second Manassas. From what I've heard, this book is the standard for a history of that battle - just getting started on it.

A hardcover copy of the book “The Rise and Fall of the British Army 1975-2015” by Ben Barry, sitting on a wooden table. The cover features British soldiers (from the Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment, judging by their berets and badges) wearing combat jackets, on parade in the snow.
For this weeks #histbookchat, #photofriday and #booksky, I’m about halfway through Ben Barry’s “The Rise and Fall of the British Army 1975-2025”. Its covered late Cold War BAOR, Northern Ireland, Falklands, Gulf War and Bosnia so far.
What I expect to be some Iraq/Afghan axe-grinding awaits me. 1/2

A policeman in uniform and traditional policeman’s helmet stands by a square metal cabinet on a pole. A little door in the side is open, and he is talking into a telephone which he has taken from the cabinet. There is a small pull-down shelf where he has a notebook on which he is writing with a pencil.
This is PC Derek Smithurst using a police telephone box, in the Cornmarket, Derby c.1959. We particularly like the design feature of a little shelf for him to rest his notebook on while he takes down details.

A group of scouts with adults standing behind them in a snowy field in front of a dry-stone wall. Snow is on their hats and coats but they all still look quite cheery.
We hope the weather is kinder today than it was for these scouts from Chinley, out on a Good Friday hike around Peak Forest in 1938. Judging by the amount of snow on them they’ve just walked through a blizzard. Though of course it could have been a snowball fight!

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.

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.
