@TrenchTrotter A beautiful thing

Time to remember the life and sacrifice of Arthur on the day he died 108 years ago today, the opening day of the Battle Of Cambrai.

@TrenchTrotter A lovely set

Collected this humble pair today, British War and Victory medals given posthumously to 759 Pte. John William Todd, 2/3rd London Field Ambulance RAMC, 56th London Division. Wounded and later missing 16/9/1916. Later found and buried Combles Communal Extension. He will be visited.

@HistoryandMoore @AngliaTours @StadIeper @ToerismeIeper You need to visit regularly

It's good to be back, even if only for a day ❤️ heading off to the accommodation in France now, ready to continue the rest of the tour.

@Taff_Gillingham @BBCLookEast @susiefowlerwatt As always Taff , excellent work

If you have a few minutes to spare, I was on @BBCLookEast this evening, discussing VJ Day 80, East Anglian regiments and units in the Far East, and the Atomic Bombs, with @susiefowlerwatt

@GreatWarHuts @richardvanemden That will be brilliant

“All will be revealed - my life with Great War veterans” - a HuttedHistories @richardvanemden Exclusive! Richard is writing his memoirs (published later this year) and has agreed an exclusive HH preview. A very special evening! 25.6.25 Details & tickets: shorturl.at/kQxsb

@medwaymakem @CopMoustache 14.25 %

@CopMoustache People hate the fact the police have a good pension they also conveniently overlook the fact you pay a big 11 or now 12% into it for decades

Serious post for a change Retired cops, you’ll be getting a letter in the next few weeks asking if you want to remain on the old scheme or go to the new one You HAVE to chose one or in 12 months you will automatically be transferred to the new one and charged £K’s in tax

@dontforgetchaos Well done

@BigPawsRule I hope it costs them a fortune

An old police colleague had to resign few years ago re an incident at work. The IOPC pushed it to go to trial . Not guilty . Evidence has come to light of IOPC corruption internally prior to the trial . I kid you not . Can’t say any more than that at this stage . They will be seeking compensation as perverted course of justice and defamation of character . Their case is solid …. KNOW YOUR ENEMY!!!!!

@BramfordGWP @GreatWarHuts Amazing again

@GreatWarHuts Great finale! Thank you to all at the "Huts"👏

It's Christmas Eve and, in our final HutVent of 2024, Taff talks Truce (of course!) and our part in a remarkable piece of Christmas Truce popular culture... youtu.be/Ma8jwTSFvfU #HutVent24 #HutVent #HappyChristmas

@RDPHistory Got them all , can’t wait for the new one

Whilst waiting for the new book to become available (still in review!) there's still time to catch my other titles before Christmas, a few of which are pictured, and full Amazon link below... amazon.co.uk/s?i=stripbooks…

@GreatWarHuts Brilliant stuff as always

Lyndsay has a tale of two posters for Day 20 of HutVent, and the recruiting propaganda which proved too much even for the committee responsible for it... youtu.be/dbCNXY2yrqU #HutVent2024 #HutVent

@leembroad @BernardRix @policingtv @CopsAgainst Very sad but all completely true, good luck with finding your next career

I had the privilege of talking to @BernardRix of @policingtv recently about my involvement in the @CopsAgainst pension campaign, my troubled relationship with policing and my decision to leave. Please have a listen and if you think I have qualities which would benefit your organisation, then please feel free to contact. youtu.be/idr95fqLrUo?si…

@RDPHistory @Digital_Sapper Can’t wait

So the draft of the incredible new Dunkirk drama "Not A Foot Back" is done and we're just shuffling maps and images... it is FREAKIN' AMAZING and easily the best book I've ever written or read. Myself and co-author @Digital_Sapper were actually sobbing, it was so good!!

@newguide2015 Very nice

@CopsAgainst @PFEW_HQ Are the Fed doing anything about the pension trap

I’m going to reactivate this account to both discuss the ongoing unfairness around the #PensionTrap #ContributionUnderpaymentInterest and also to highlight the continual democratic deficit and ongoing failings at the centre of @PFEW_HQ and the need for change.

@Revies_Dossier @leembroad That’s what I want to know about the silence is defending

They just don’t get it do they? What gives the CEO or the Board the right to dictate when a claimant of discrimination and repeat victimisation ‘moves on?’ We have reached a financial settlement, which was deemed reasonable by Leigh Day who are officers to the court and have an obligation to resolve disputes and seek to reasonably avoid costly and lengthy litigation, but like many have said from the start, this runs deeper than a financial settlement. The hurt, anger, betrayal and loss of trust cannot be bought by a couple of thousand pounds injury to feelings. It needs a constant commitment to rebuilding relationships by showing the membership you have changed or are seriously committed to changing. In this area, I have seen little to no evidence or progress, in fact in some areas the organisation has rolled back on itself and become less transparent, open and honest in its interactions with members and its own representatives. I’m sure many feel the same way. Finalising the financial settlement may be a line in the sand for the organisation and an opportunity to absolve themselves of their abhorrent treatment and whitewashing of the claimants feelings…. But for many, there’s a long long way for @PFEW_HQ to go before it recaptures the trust of those they betrayed and actively fought against for years.

@LeicesterPolFed That’s a shocking statistic

Between 2001 and 2020, 344 police officers sadly took their own lives. Breaking the Silence webinar: Conversations about mental health and suicide prevention polfed.org/news/latest-ne… #AskTwice - it may save a life.

@TrenchTrotter Where’s that

Usual spot. 😀 Ypres.

@jbeputnam Good luck mate , I will miss you

Today my 17-year career in policing comes to an end, as I head to pastures new. Thank you to all the wonderful people I have worked with, who embody public service and who I’m proud to call friends. I’ve had a varied and rewarding career, and now’s the time to try something new.

@CopMoustache Who does the mounting for you

Popped into work today to collect my #CoronationMedal to get it sent off with the others for Court mounting so I can get it back in time for the memorial service at the end of the month (and yes they put the ribbon the same length as the others when mounted) 😊😊👍
