Mimesis: African Soldier remembers the millions of Africans and people of colour from across the globe who fought and took part in the First World War. See the installation at IWM London until 31 March as part of the free #MakingANewWorld season. twitter.com/bernarddonoghu…

Still reeling from the utterly beautiful, moving, thought-provoking #MimesisAfricanSoldier film by the stunning artist #johnakomfrah @I_W_M - another superb commission by @1418NOW @Jkwaldman and @IWM_Centenary

As a postscript to my story about how it took 17 years to reunite the medals of my relative, 200203 A/CSM Ernest William Gillingham, 1/4th Essex, I was delighted to receive a photograph of his grave in Ramleh War Cemetery from @nader_habash this morning. #TwitterAtItsBest @CWGC

While work is going on around the site at Brook Farm, we thought we’d feature some items from the collection starting with this charming little wooden Officer. It would be nice to know if he was a one-off made by a soldier or if these were commercially made. Do any of you know?

#OTD 1918 'The Xmas festivities have passed off satisfactorily & I think the men had as good a time as circumstances permitted. I got a concert going for the evening, & as we had got some extra rations & a fair amount of beer they did not do so badly' jackpeirs.org/letters

Incredible late 1930s cinefilm of the #WW1 battlefields as they were on the eve of another war, taken by a veteran who travelled from Ypres to Verdun. via @Taff_Gillingham : youtu.be/esA9SXyzAWk

Baker and #WW1 soldier Albert Hendley with the beautiful cake he crafted for his upcoming wedding - tragically, the marriage was not to be as he was killed in action shortly after this photo was taken. Pay tribute to Albert on #LivesofWW1: ow.ly/UaSH30mSg27 #MusCake

Mark says that the centenary reinforced the idea that it might not be the job of academic historians to come in and tell the public things. Especially when the public are already informed on matters. @GatewaysFWW #EntenteReflect
