Delighted to have received this excellent book by @jamesmscott.bsky.social now united with the bookplate from #wehavewaysfest
I had a fantastic time, for the second year running, at #WeHaveWaysFest - a must for living history/World War 2 enthusiasts. 4G reception was bad; being without internet for 3 days liberating. Bloody cold at night in a tent though.

A profound moment when a chap produces a ‘hinomaru’ flag taken by his father in Burma. We shouldn’t need a reminder of the horrors of war, but the obvious and copious dried blood stains on the flag were a tangible ‘take your breath away’ moment. #wehavewaysfest #wehaveways @almurray.bsky.social

My first ever visit to We Have Ways Fest and had a great time. Lots of conversations with people and their interesting things

So great & happy to see @normagraham.bsky.social talking 1st Canadian Para 🇨🇦 at #WeHaveWaysfest fünf.
Wow, what a start to one of my favourite weekends of the year at #WehaveWaysFest. Loads of tanks, tankards and WWII waffle.
I have not bought any SWW books at #wehavewaysfest! That said one book on Spanish-US War; one from Tim Shipman about events I saw first hand in parliament; and a FWW book with written confirmation from @alexchurchill.bsky.social that Kitchener was indeed a Kerryman! 📚 #histbookchat
Mum @normagraham.bsky.social exacting 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion today at #wehavewaysfest

Programme for the Sunday 14 Sept at WHW Fest. Dan and Mary are on at 12:00.
PowerPoint Slide. 'How Bomber Command has been remembered. images of the BC memorial at Green Park, the IBCC Spire, a Bomber Command Clasp, the new sculpture of a Lancaster 'on Freedoms' Wings', and the 'Never mind the Dam Busters' logo.
@marybrazier.bsky.social and I will be talking about how Bomber Command’s operations in 1945 have had an impact on the way the bombing war is remembered. We're on last so we're actually 'headlining' the Arsenal Stage at #WeHaveWaysFest @almurray.bsky.social #history #WW2 @nmtdambusters.bsky.social
The last new book arrival before heading of to #wehavewaysfest: thought briefly about keeping my head down today but it’s Nixon and the Election of 1968. I mean I for one do regret not having Nixon around to kick these days! 📚 #histbookchat
Programme’s out for Britain’s most fun history festival - the one & only #WeHaveWaysFest… run by @jamesholland.com & @almurray.bsky.social :)
This year I’ll be joining @gordoncorera.bsky.social & @lyman.robert to talk #SOE at 2pm, Sat 13 Sept 2025… Join us!
We Have Ways Fest has revealed the full list of talks and speakers. Given that Second World War history is male dominated, I'm pleased to see that several women will be speaking.
One talk I'm very keen to see is "The Sexual Revolution", about LGBTQ+ people in the 1940s, including a trans man in […]
It took 2 weeks to come down from the high of #wehavewaysfest (a WW2/living history fest). After leaving I was so determined to stay in the 1940s, I drove over to #bletchleypark and spent 4 hours with the coders.

#OnThisDay in 1942, the Allied invasion of #Madagascar began on the west coast. The defenders there were unable to report this to their higher command because Percy Mayer, an #SOE agent, had cut telephone cables.
I'll be giving a talk about the invasion at #WeHaveWaysFest in September […]
