@MikeHistorian Wow. I love the stories of the blokes who rose through the ranks. A born fighter.

Every headstone tells a story... this one stopped me in my tracks today. What a soldier this man must have been. Respect.
Ypres, Belgium 🇧🇪 English
I wasn’t sure if I should post this, but I found it very moving so decided to share. I’m doing some research for an upcoming history podcast/book about the backpacker murders (a truly horrific story) and visited a few of the key sites in the forest today. At the spot where Simone Schmidl died, someone has left a small tribute, complete with a German flag. It was uplifting to see signs of love and remembrance in such a dark place.

Wandering around Bury St Edmunds this morning and found this fabulous bench, looks like part of the fuselage from a USAAF bomber, gifted to the city of Bury StE in 1945 by the US Army Air Force

Excited to share my latest video - Walking the Battlefields of Gallipoli and exploring the stories that shaped the Anzac legend. This was such a meaningful project to work on. Hope you find it as moving as I did creating it.

Great to be back in Istanbul to lead my Signature Tour of Gallipoli! Can’t wait to get to the peninsula. #gallipoli

Ghost dog of Gallipoli? Is that a dog swimming in the shallows at Anzac Cove in 1915?

@MatMcLachlan Nice piece. Though we all know where Pond Farm really is 😉

Great to be featured in Escape in News Ltd newspapers in the lead-up to Anzac Day. Visiting the battlefields really is life-changing. What a privilege to be able to help other people share this experience.

A busy Anzac Day commemorating the 110th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings. As part of about 30 TV, radio and print interviews I did, this one on 2GB was one of the most enjoyable. Hope you all had a special day. Lest we forget. 2gb.com/legacy-of-the-…

@samgkwatson @KarlJames_1945 @James1940 @almurray @WeHaveWaysPod @ErnestMalley Couldn’t agree more! A great example of how a modern military museum can maintain the heritage of the original.

Having lived in Sydney for over a decade, I finally got around to exploring the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park. Impressive and moving displays showcasing Australia’s contribution. Highly recommend. @KarlJames_1945 @James1940 @almurray @WeHaveWaysPod @ErnestMalley @MatMcLachlan
