I think they’re finally all on the map. Nearly 400 men from #Petersfield and the surrounding villages who died in #WW1. As always, any information or photographs to add would be wonderful. google.com/maps/d/u/0/vie…

@StuartHumphryes I’m so sorry, I only just saw this. That is wonderful, and has made this Christmas Eve extra special. Thank you so much.

I've been watching some YouTube videos where historical figures had their paintings re-rendered by Ai as contemporary photos, and the connection it creates with the subject is quite profund. So I tried it on some Victorian photos such as the shot below of Sir John Herschel from 1867. The potential it offers family historians is considerable, and so I thought, as a fun little Christmas present to you, I would offer the service freely to my followers during this week. So if you want to post a shot of an ancestor I will, in turn, reply with a re-rendered version for you, re-imagining them as if taken by modern photography. But just single shots (not groups or couples) and they need to be of clear enough resolution that we can clearly see their faces and not have to guess at their features.

@StuartHumphryes That is very sad. The world needs kindness more than ever.

@JellyJudith I tried to be kind, but in the process I lost seveal hundred followers and received a lot of verbal abuse sinply because I used Ai. There's a lot of anger and prejudice and unpleasantness online unfortunately.

Well, I've spent 2 days solid at my PC this weekend, creating images of your ancestors, & I've replied with over 100 images, but I cannot continue at such a hectic rate. I hope all who received the gifts enjoy them & for everyone else, maybe next time I'll be able to fit more in!

Our conference is a month away! So many talks and seminars to choose from. Based on the book Ring of Fire, @PikeGrey1418 will be giving an exclusive talk about the Battle of Galicia. This oft-ignored scrap in 1914 consumed a million casualties along a 200 mile front in 3 weeks!

Director @churchill_alex will be unsurprisingly talking about the French, and giving an exclusive talk all about General Foch in 1914 🇫🇷👇

Conference is a month away! So many talks and seminars to choose from. We talk about technical innovations through Brit eyes, and we forget that the French were pioneers too! @boiry62128 is going to give our ally their dues for steel helmets (that Churchill preferred) and more…

Our conference is a month away! With many talks and seminars to choose from. It’s all very well capturing enemy guns for the win. But what do you do with them afterwards? Mike Taylor is going to tell us!

@thebattleguide Sending best wishes John. Hope you‘re quickly out and about.

The view from my bed. I’m feeling a little perforated and achy but not too bad, all things considered, & I’m being very well cared for by the team(s) here.
Thanks for all the comments & support today, reaffirming my belief that the military history community on here is ace!

@SommePhantom sure that everyone knew and had full acknowledgement. Let it go.
English
@SommePhantom Okay Tom, I’ve unblocked you for 24 hours. Do your worst.
For anyone who doesn’t know me, I am a retired primary -school teacher, a non-academic, proud to be a GWG trustee with particular responsibility for organising packed lunches. I have never met anyone at CWGC let alone have
English
Readers should be aware that it isn't possible to reply to Jim Smithson's (et al) Great War Group's untrue allegations when they have BLOCKED the ability to reply. This actually stems from GWG people having lied to me about assisting with a cwgc disputed case, when in fact >cont>
English
@SommePhantom any friends there. But I do object strongly to being shouted at via personal emails, direct messages etc and being accused publicly of betrayal and dishonesty. I have absolutely no axe to grind with you. I tried to help and you threw it back in my face. You helped me and I made

@GreatWarGroup @N323339N @keithbugden @jojohook2003 @jbanningww1 @FlandersBTour @ww1cemeteries @SommePhantom @agh57 @TheKnotUnites This is completed untrue. @SommePhantom has been making slanderous remarks, including about myself, for some time now. There is no conspiracy against him, just good-hearted people who tried to help him.
English
@N323339N @keithbugden @jojohook2003 @jbanningww1 @FlandersBTour @ww1cemeteries @SommePhantom @agh57 @TheKnotUnites Sigh. Disreputable is being literally the only person ever to get kicked out of the group, Tom, because you insisted on spouting abhorrent views and attacking people. You have a nice day now.

I received an email from Richard Hills Director of Commemorations at CWGC. I attach an extract. I have responded but can @jojohook2003 @jbanningww1 @FlandersBTour @ww1cemeteries @SommePhantom @agh57 @TheKnotUnites @N323339N please email him examples of neglect. Thank you.
