Dr Catie Gilchrist

@Grantlee_Kieza @Dymocksbooks Your early morning interview on ABC 702 was utterly fabulous! The benefits of insomnia 🙃

Thanks to everyone who made my new book Sister Viv, the No.1 biography at @Dymocksbooks stores across Australia this week. An emotional story about a truly great Australian

What happens to Royalty Checks when you die? Asking for me 🙃

@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

@MHS_NSW Agreed - I consult this book constantly for Great War info and it is visually lovely indeed. 5 stars.

A good read with terrific images. #NSW #NSWpol #Sydney #WW1 #History

@dunce_scotus Personally I utterly utterly adored this book and Carlton is a very engaging writer and an expert on the RAN so boo...@MikeCarlton01

@history2wheeler @seamuseum_ You have such a tiresome job my dear!

I promise that this was all in the spirit of exhibition research ... @seamuseum_

@HistAustJournal Can you please repost the link to the assistant editor's position recently advertised. Many thanks x

@history2wheeler @seamuseum_ @pha_nsw That is bloody marvellous research PH!

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

@history2wheeler @seamuseum_ What a fabulous honour indeed. Shame about the wind and my very bad hair day!

What a privilege to attend the commissioning ceremony for USS Canberra, moored beside HMAS Canberra at Fleet Base East. Thanks to @Historywhore for letting me be her plus one 😉 @seamuseum_

@MHS_NSW Does he have a known grave?

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

@SydneyClio @cityofsydney @pha_nsw @ProfHistAus @PHAVicTas This is breaking (hearts) news! Wow! What's the plan Lisa? OMFG!

@cfwriter @history2wheeler @blue_prop OOOH - who is she? Nice anchor brooch - or was she a rather glam WRAN?

Best "Fictional" Officer?

@MHS_NSW This is the second image from this article on the Anzac Memorial's website written by Prof Peter Stanley that you have posted today. I did the picture research. Is this in any way a conflict of interest? Thanks for letting me know. anzacmemorial.nsw.gov.au/our-stories/ou…

When you work in a museum and have to re-write the object description not to mention the acquisition proposal 🙃It’s not a darning tool, it’s a very naughty toy: Roman dildo found theguardian.com/science/2023/f…

@history2wheeler @DrDreHistorian Agreed! Dodgy small dope smelling dank venue in the Inner West would be lovely! Now where's my long shoegazers fringe gone? Oh and my undergrad years! The best!

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

@MHS_NSW Oooh - there's a rather lovely gold framed version of this in the RUSI Library at the Anzac Memorial, Hyde Park, Sydney 🙂

"New South Wales Contingent. Soudan Campaign. 1885". A photograph montage of portraits of some of the soldiers and Non-Commissioned Officers arranged in the form of an oval wreath surrounding portrait photographs of twenty five of the contingent's officers. #Sydney #nswpol #NSW

@ProfPeterDoyle Oh how delightful! I am currently in the middle of your wonderful book on the Princess Mary tin. It's a cracking read and wonderfully illustrated. 5 stars!

Christmas tree dressing now complete

@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.

Ok #twitter, name the city & name the building. Go! #WWI #WWII
