@robert91165 Many thanks Rob. Much appreciated. A great man.

@almurray And very grateful to you for reading it.

Very fortunate to have a proof copy of @barber1944's latest edition.

@bluehabibti @6thairborne It’s a pleasure. I’m guessing your dad was also a member of 224 (Para) Field Ambulance ?

@Barber1944 @6thairborne Thank you so much for this information,Neil. My mum and I were able to pay our respects in the 1990s when we visited Ranville. My dad passed away in 1977,when I was a young girl,but I knew how much he kept William in his thoughts.

After seeing Ranville Cemetery lit up last year, my friends & I decided to do it ourselves, obviously on a smaller scale. So pleased we did. Such a rewarding experience in choosing the graves and very emotional walking into the cemetery again shortly after midnight on 6 June.

@bluehabibti @6thairborne Hazelmary, he died of wounds at 1330 hours on 7th July at the 225 Field Ambulance Dressing Station at Ecarde. Two Messerschmitt aircraft had made a low level attack on the area at 1020 hours.

@Barber1944 @6thairborne Somehow the lights bring further poignancy. My father’s friend William McLaughin rests there. Both men jumped in as part of 6th Airborne RAMC.

@Ai_TrumpNews Yes !

@SteelUK @wmdhistorian @BattlefieldBen @authordlewis Gordon, the last one broadcast was in June with the Ham and Jam boys. Thoroughly enjoyed that and believe there is some good ‘food’ in there !

@wmdhistorian @BattlefieldBen @Barber1944 @authordlewis Any new podcasts scheduled? It's been awhile.

Our trailer podcast is now live! You can watch on most popular streaming channels. I have attached Spotify below. open.spotify.com/episode/2BWuWE… @BattlefieldBen @Barber1944 @authordlewis

facebook.com/share/16YTjicQ… Looking forward to this event in Warminster and talking with Crispin Thomas about the 6th Airborne Division in Normandy.

@authordlewis Get well soon, Damien.

Admitted to A n E late last night. Straight onto the ward and amazing treatment and staff. Nothing too serious. Thank God for the NHS. 🙏

This will be a slightly different presentation to recent ones. 1940s Society, Otford Memorial Hall, Friday 30th May, 7.30pm.

@BrianGarrigan Yes.

Do you agree that Halal should be banned because of the cruelty to animals? YES NO If YES I will follow you back #IrishLivesMatter

On behalf of Paul and me, I would just like to thank the Bomb Group Museums for their support. Bomb Group is now on sale at Ridgewell, Thorpe Abbotts, Horham, and Parham. As well as telling the story of the 381st and 8th Airforce BGs, it will raise funds for the museums.

@theblade113 Yes !

Do you think Lucy Powell should resign with immediate effect ? A simple YES or NO will suffice. YES from Joan to start

@alexarmstrong The man is pathetic.

Andrew Marr has described Reform as “sometimes borderline racist” because the party talks about the impacts of immigration. What a disgraceful way to speak about a political party that’s received millions of votes over the last 12 months.

@Mike_Owens_4638 @RE_Hist_Society @almurray @James1940 @MikeHistorian @WHW_HighlandIC Really looking forward to doing this with the @RE_Hist_Society.

This looks set to be a cracking talk from @Barber1944. His book👇 is superb & highly recommended. As are his other works. Join the @RE_Hist_Society this coming Thursday. @almurray @James1940 @MikeHistorian @WHW_HighlandIC

🚨 We are delighted to announce our next speaker. Join @Barber1944 on 1 May for all things Coup de Main! Neil is a leading authority on Pegasus Bridge & we are delighted to offer you this talk. @WeHaveWaysPod @almurray @James1940 @MikeHistorian @IWMDuxford @Inst_RE Details👇

@wmdhistorian @BattlefieldBen I’m afraid I have a dental appointment at 5.15pm, William.

I'm in London on the 29th if anyone wants to meet up for a pint in the Lambeth, Kew, or Richmond area. I have a date with some archives! @Barber1944 @BattlefieldBen
