Part one.The last interview I gave was to Le Figaro 20 years ago on the subject of laser prostate surgery. Slightly different.

Always the way - a primary source reference appears after submission. The RMO to 23H will feature in my next book. @WeHaveWaysPod @Helionbooks @britainatwar @theww2podcast @AMSCorpsCol @ArmyMedicalSTC @_Royal_AMS @James1940 @ArmyMediaCommSW @NAM_London

@philmcraig @ArmchairBard An occasional medical school drinking haunt when we ventured more than a a few hundred yards from The King and Queen, The Green Man or The Cambridge.

@ArmchairBard The very same!

Classic old school London boozer with an old mate - one of life's pleasures. In this case a pub I've been frequenting for over 40 years. Anyone else know it? Encouraging too to see the place full, as were all the nearby restaurants, on a February Wednesday evening.

Should keep me busy at the weekend.@TankMuseum @WeHaveWaysPod @WessexYeomanry

Please help me spread my #podcast. The Authors of History Podcast, I talk to authors about their books and how the subjects they write about. Brilliant episodes, Please listen, share and comments and 5 stars would be amazing. #History shows.acast.com/authors-of-his…

@DrHelenFry Um… The Regimental Medical Officer in the Second World War @Helionbooks - fingers crossed.

Do you know of any military history books scheduled for release in 2026? What are you looking forward to reading next year?

@Roger_Moorhouse Am hopeful for Christmas Day. Enjoyed the talk at Newmarket.

Another satisfied reader. What have you got for the history book lover in your life?

Festive reading in Suffolk.

@HelloSanctuary Please deal with the lack of heating in the doctors on call flat in Lucas in Colchester. No heating, loo broken and water dripping through the ceiling via the lights. This is urgent as on call doctors living here. A fire risk I would suggest.Thank you.

Due to expected bad weather and cold temperatures around the country, we are receiving a high volume of calls. If your call is not urgent, please raise a query on our website at sanctuary.co.uk

Twelve months ago - hoping the next book will be in print this time next year. Proofreading is my least favourite task. @ww2headquarters @Helionbooks @BBCEssex

@robert_lyman I recall on the war surgery course at Millbank many years ago an RN surgeon saying he joined the Royal Navy so he could have a bath before going into action. I do remember ties still worn with coveralls in the RAC. Coloured cravats the generation before.

When chaps went into battle in a collar and tie

Looking through my father's wartime photos we found a negative which I had never looked at before, I hope this is Acrobat, his horse he took to the Middle East.

@ReassessHistory Marvellous news ! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Very glad, if knackered, to say that Vol 1 of Jocks, Dragons and Sospans, the new history of 53rd Welsh Division has been submitted to the publisher. Now to finish Vol 2. #WW2 #SWW #History

Education and hydration.⁦Tunisia was a weak point in my past reading - not now.@sauldavid66⁩

@sommecourt I have a chapter on airborne MOs in my next book on the RMO in the Second World War… and of course Royal Armoured Corps doctors having been one for many years. Proof reading stage. @Helionbooks @RoyalArmdCorps @WessexYeomanry @MilitaryMedic7 @ArmyMedicalSTC @_Royal_AMS

Every year on the Arnhem Anniversary I take this book off the shelves and give it a read: it’s one of my favourite memoirs of the battle, and I love the Prologue too and the introduction by Hackett, who I was lucky to meet several times.

An exciting new project - 8 volumes of unseen letters, personal memoirs and diaries covering the Western Desert, Burma and the Middle East. Primary source material at its best.@WeHaveWaysPod @WeHaveWaysPod @robert_lyman @WW2_Podcast @WW2TV
