@MatMcLachlan Congratulations Mat! However it is not entirely 'forgotten'. Krithia is actually named in the Gallipoli niche in the Hall of Memory at the Anzac Memorial, Sydney.

Excited to be submitting the manuscript for my latest book this week. It’s been an enjoyable two-year journey, which has revealed some incredible stories. In bookshops in July! #wwi

Tomorrow at the Canada Bay Historical Society I'm giving a talk about the Queen of Nations shipwreck in 1881, entitled 'In a pickle', since the captain was inebriated. To prepare, I'm eating pickle-flavoured chips and drinking Sailors Grave ⛵ @seamuseum_ @pha_nsw

John Sinclair in the uniform of a railway guard for NSW Government Railways c.1870. He had been a cavalryman in the 11th Hussars, a regiment of Britain’s light cavalry brigade in Crimea. At just 15 years of age he was one of the 600 who participated in the charge at Balaclava. Image: Brad Manera collection. #Sydney #NSW #nswpol #history #twitterstorians

Hot diggedy dog, I'm a huge Slowdive fan but I don't want to sign up for a whole festival just to see them, especially at the Hordern cowshed, which would kill any ethereal atmosphere 😮‍💨 @DrDreHistorian

@KarlJames_1945 Me thinks that's the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park, Sydney. Most beautiful place to work in Sydney in my humble opinion! Every day is an utter pleasure and delicious delight.
