Here’s Rory Stewart talking a lot of sense about the Iran war: “We need to get out immediately. Every day this continues, it gets closer to a global economic meltdown and closer to a much bigger conflict and the beginnings of a third world war.”

Rifleman Kulbir Thapa, 2nd Bn 3rd Gurkha Rifles, rescuing Private Bill Keightley of the Royal Leicestershire Regiment at the Battle of Loos,1915. He also went back for two wounded Gurkhas. He was the first Nepalese Gurkha recipient of the Victoria Cross. #WW1 Statue: Aldershot

With the school group exploring Thessaloniki from Alexander the Great to Venizelos and the First World War #Salonika 🇬🇷 @AngliaTours @KewHouseHmn @SalonikaCmpnSoc

@legin_snevets @AngliaTours @KewHouseHmn @SalonikaCmpnSoc A super tour. I took the group to say hello to Harley earlier this week 😉

@SteveJChambers @AngliaTours @KewHouseHmn @SalonikaCmpnSoc It’s always great to see Lorimer’s designs, especially Dorian with Gilbert’s sculptures adorning it. I hope that it’s been a good tour, Steve? (Don’t forget to say hello to Katherine Harley for me!)

With the school group we explored the hills of northern Greece today from Roupel gorge to Lake Doiran #Salonika 🇬🇷🇲🇰 🇧🇬 @AngliaTours @KewHouseHmn @SalonikaCmpnSoc

Day 4 of our Salonika trip - Fort Roupel- near the Bulgarian Border, the British Salonika Force Memorial- near the North Macedonia border and the Dorian cemetery. @CWGC @SalonikaCmpnSoc and @AngliaTours

@FlandersBTour It does rank highly as one of the most ridiculous charges to receive the death penalty

@SteveJChambers Sometimes the mind does wonder and question…awful for him and his family.

We visited the grave of a Limerick lad, Private Patrick Joseph Downey, who was 18 when he enlisted. He survived the Gallipoli campaign to be shot at dawn in Salonika for “disobedience.” Downey had refused to put on his cap #StPatricksDay ☘️ #RIP @AngliaTours @KewHouseHmn

Exploring the British Birdcage trenches and bunkers in Salonika today. The school group loved getting off the beaten track 🇬🇷 @AngliaTours @KewHouseHmn

A stop of the day, allied cemetery in the centre of Thessaloniki- in honour of St Patrick’s Day ☘️ , two soldiers from Ireland. #thessaloniki @AngliaTours

British trench positions facing the Bulgarian troops, cap badge and moments of personal reflections by our students on Day 3 of our tour to Thessaloniki- @SalonikaCmpnSoc @CWGC

Today we travel out to Greece to study the Salonika Campaign - a first for Kew House, for @AngliaTours and for a UK school. We look forward to learning about the forgotten front. @SteveJChambers @TheWFA @GreatWarGroup @WW1_Education

Perhaps the most spectral rendition of La Marseillaise French army officer cadets sing in the Douaumont Ossuary which contains the remains of 130,000 soldiers who died at Verdun and the surrounding area during WWI (2025) #MardiMarseillaise

My kids were in for a real treat last night and surprisingly voted the film an average of 8.5 out of 10. Of course I rate it higher. Now to read ‘Fifty Men in the Valley of the Shadow’, the making of The Wild Geese

RIP Gordon Corrigan - He will be sorely missed
