Sam Jolley

Four days of the most phenomenal Napoleonic nerd fest touring battlefields of the Waterloo campaign from dawn til dusk, in sunshine & thunderstorms. So much love to @liamtelfer @DrEdCoss @lureynol @s_jolley @GraemeCallister & @Peter_Molloy_ forging memories to last a lifetime ❤️

@sean_f_scullion @adiebond46 @RLCMuseum Sorry I’m not there this week to hear it 🥲

@adiebond46 @RLCMuseum @s_jolley Thanks for coming Adie! Great stuff !

I'm at @RLCMuseum @s_jolley to listen to @sean_f_scullion talk about Churchill's Spaniards

@beatricedegraaf @GraemeCallister @ZwhiteHistory @NRWGCharity *and Sam 😉

There’s also some news about a brand new exhibit curated by @s_jolley for the @RLCMuseum @RymerAbbie

Rations for Two - a brand new exhibition charting the changing face of maternity in the military is open now at the RLC Museum. The exhibition was opened by @UKArmyLogistics Corps Colonel Jacqueline Powell and features servicewomen's stories and uniform.

I am afraid the lovely Abbie does not stand in exhibition the whole time, but come to @RLCMuseum's new temporary exhibition to read her story. Rations for Two displays maternity uniforms* alongside experiences of servicewomen over the last 34 years. *Some of them are really ugly

@theknightirish I love this!

Why do I feel @s_jolley is behind this…?

I know my weaknesses 🤷🏻‍♀️

@selhurstpaw1 @Codders4 @Nick_Britten @REMuseum That is the story I was always told, believed and repeated, although I have not seen any recorded evidence. If there is then I imagine Lord Ashcroft’s current medal curator would have it on file, such as Stanley Baker’s original receipt and perhaps subsequent test results?

@Codders4 @Nick_Britten @REMuseum They might. I know someone who might be able to confirm. @s_jolley. Sam do you know if there is any truth in the wiki fact that Stanley Baker, bought what he thought was John Chard's VC thinking that it was a reproduction? I know that it's with the Ashworth collection now.

@likesmokenoakum @churchill_alex @kejamieson_ @jerijerod14 @1418filmandy @moodyoe @bigandylock @militaryhistori Accurate

@s_jolley @churchill_alex @kejamieson_ @jerijerod14 @1418filmandy @moodyoe @bigandylock @militaryhistori And I always assume you're sauced, so...

If by "best" you mean "most likely to cut me if I don't pick" then it's a toss-up between @churchill_alex & @kejamieson_ as I'm pretty sure I can outrun @jerijerod14 @1418filmandy @moodyoe @s_jolley @bigandylock and @militaryhistori

@likesmokenoakum @churchill_alex @kejamieson_ @jerijerod14 @1418filmandy @moodyoe @bigandylock @militaryhistori *prey. I can’t even spell tonight 🤣

@s_jolley @churchill_alex @kejamieson_ @jerijerod14 @1418filmandy @moodyoe @bigandylock @militaryhistori Well, I'm still pretty quick, but really, I just need to not be slower than Chris.

@JellyJudith @WhatHuwKnew @EHDC @EastHantsDC Some poor man with 85 followers is now very confused as to why you are angry with him 🤣

@WhatHuwKnew @EHDC @EastHantsDC Oops!

@SprStoneham Oh fabulous! I must admit that I got used to him driving me around and now my little fiat feels insignificant

@s_jolley Off topic but Richard Hammond gave Monty’s Rolls and the trip to Normandy an honourable mention whilst being interviewed at Le Mans earlier today on Eurosport.

How the devil sleeps after keeping the family up all night

He’s really rubbing it in now. I guess singing non stop between 0200-0430 and then trying to jump out a first floor window is tiring…

@Blue_Tweezers @ZwhiteHistory @LandOfHistory Oh I am indeed hugely bias in most episodes 😅 absolute liability as a judge.

@ZwhiteHistory @LandOfHistory @s_jolley I'm voting for Bessieres, because I was the person rooting for him on the Podcast! Can't understand the Davout craze. Auerstadt? Pah. Medina de Rio Seco. @s_jolley is a great historian but a biased judge! Its enough to make a Guard cavalryman cry.

Who wins out of Davout, St Cyr, Bessieres and Jordan? Battle of the Marshals Heat 2 is now available on the Napoleonic Wars podcast, as @LandOfHistory @s_jolley & I discuss pitches from fans of the show. Comment to vote for your favourite (and find the episode) below

@sworrall @RLCMuseum I did! But there’s no photo evidence

@RLCMuseum Dis @s_jolley make it back from Normandy in time?

We are delighted to announce that our planned closure on Tuesday was due to a visit by Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal. Read the press release here - bit.ly/45q6wGv
