American on the WF

READ ‘An American on the Western Front: The First World War Letters of Arthur Clifford Kimber 1917-18’ 'A completely fresh & at times astonishing new light on….WW1. A family tragedy & a national epic.’ Andrew Marr US amzn.to/2xTwbvm UK amzn.to/2HqYwZu

In the latest episode of @TLBHpodcast, @DrAliceKelly speaks to Lisa Budreau (@tnstatemuseum), Steven Trout (@UofAlabama) & @k72ndst about the remarkable choice the US Government gave to Americans at the end of #WWI. Listen to The Homecoming Episode ⬇️ rai.ox.ac.uk/article/homeco…

That is fantastic news, James. Richly deserved - the best person I could possibly have thought of to do this job!

I was glad to be able to contribute a few add-ons at the time of the US perspective, but I agree Chris - it was an excellent contribution to the public understanding of #FWW battles

@HistoryDean @k72ndst @instagram @TheWWImuseum @jimleeke @GAofNYC Many different incarnations indeed.....but a quick chorus of Snoopy vs. The Red Baron anyone?

@k72ndst @instagram @AmericanOnTheWF @TheWWImuseum @jimleeke Snoopy has been in 39 parades but in various incarnations, like Superman. Some were dressed up from previous balloons. I wish I could go on one of your @GAofNYC tours and get the full history of the parade route!

#HappyThanksgiving2020 The Snoopy WW1 ace balloon debuted in 1968 @Instagram instagram.com/p/CIDlMCKJPIk/ Today, it reminds me of Patrick Gregory's "An American on the Western Front: The First World War Letters of Arthur Clifford Kimber 1917-18." historyauthor.com/patrick-gregor…

@JonathanBoff @ahrcpress Congratulations my man - and good luck with it!

@HistoryDean @WW1CC @TheWWImuseum @k72ndst (Delayed & slow reaction several days on) Cheers @HistoryDean and right back at you! Is it the effect of every day being February 2nd?

Spotted this headline from May 16, 1918, and thought of my conversation with Patrick Gregory, @AmericanOnTheWF. You can hear us discuss this Great War eagle in our archives. historyauthor.com/2018/11/patric…

@TaubHistory @wherrypilgrim Great stuff - and good to hear from you!
