As I now longer feel comfortable on X, I will switch to BlueSky. Find me on bsky.app/profile/domini…

We’re proud to announce that on 5th October, we will be unveiling the first-ever plaque at the historic St George’s Memorial Church in Ypres, Belgium commemorating the 15,600 West Indian heroes who valiantly served in World War I 🌹

@TJGodden I agree. Write to the organizers.

I love the Gent-Wevelgem race, but this edit makes me a feel uneasy. The Menin Gate really shouldn’t be presented as a victory podium. The organisers are usually really good on the balance between the race and the memorial landscape, but not with this.

@TJGodden @OmloopHNB @eurosport If your Dutch is rather OK: this has usually the best coverage sporza.be/nl/matches/wie…

Any danger of some continuous live pictures of @OmloopHNB, please @eurosport? I’m half an hour in to the race coverage and I’ve no idea what’s going on because of all the padding.

@mahendr80843057 wow

The Indian Lancers!

@TJGodden @CWGC @sommecourt @Taff_Gillingham @ProfPeterDoyle @UKinBelgium @FlandersWW1 @KentArch The lecture is available online > youtube.com/watch?v=OagNFg…

A refreshment break during @DomDendooven’s presentation of the British West Indies Regiment on the Western Front during the Great War. Looking forward to reading the book over the coming days.

Komende donderdag in de educatieve ruimte van In Flanders Fields Museum. Next Thursday in the educational space of In Flanders Fields Museum. inflandersfields.be/en/program/ken…

This is an incredibly exciting development and super opportunity. The work will feed into @CWGC's ongoing non-commemoration programme and will play an important part in changing the way we remember the dead. Please share widely and get in contact if you have questions!

Tomorrow! Meet Lyn @Excursionsshow on stand 67 at Wembley Stadium. From 10.30am to 4pm she will be telling you all about the In Flanders Fields Museum and the city of Ypres. Sharing a stand with @TalbotHousTubby, @toerismewesthoe & @MMP1917.

The next Canterbury-based session of the @UniKentHistory @IFFmuseum seminar will take place next week. Join us to hear Roger Steward's paper on Langemark German Cemetery! 📅 01/02/24, 6pm 📍 UKC, Keynes Seminar Room 16 As always, the event is free and all are welcome to attend!

@mahendr80843057 Such a great place to have visited with you

I flew over & clicked this amazing photo of the majestic Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur.

@SBSTROP @IFFmuseum Indeed !

@IFFmuseum Till 18.02.24, right? So I’ll have to hurry. See you soon.

In the 'For Evermore' exhibition at the #inflandersfields museum, you can watch a powerful film. Drone footage and detailed images give you a different perspective of the First World War cemeteries. You can see the full film in the temporary exhibition.

@TommiesGuides @IFFmuseum @CWGC @MaxDutton2 @janeylaw We would love that. IFFM always actively tries to find a good home for such items. Not always easy. Here, for instance, is the CWGC willing to have a film that also features cemeteries of other nationalities?

@IFFmuseum Do you know if this will be kept for ongoing future access? Thinking in the new @cwgc building from spring perhaps? It's too good to make 100% temporary! 👍 @MaxDutton2 @janeylaw

Terrific opportunity here for a funded PhD on an incredible new resource #FWW #WW1 cwgc.org/our-work/news/…

@TommiesGuides @PeteAJohnston Indeed. George Hay told me about this !

@PeteAJohnston Great project. One I'm sure @DomDendooven will keep an interest in.

@TalbotHousTubby celebrated its 108th anniversary. Many congrulations. Yesterday, they lit the Toc H lamp during the World Chain of Light. Last night, @StadIeper's Toc H lamp was also lit in the research centre of the In Flanders Fields Museum 🔥.
