80 years ago, on 1 August 1944, the Warsaw Rising started. In Poland, we know the price of freedom. How much does it take to stand up for the values you believe in? Look at the heroes of WARSAW🇵🇱 Sound on 🔉 #ThereWasACity🔹warsawrising.eu

Last week, the 2nd anniversary of Putin's invasion, my friend Simon and I drove to Ukraine to deliver medicine and supplies on behalf of @WorldExtremeMed. We'd love it if you might donate, but if you can't, a RT would help! gofundme.com/f/medics4ukrai… Ukraine needs us more than ever.

@DavidDi73100612 Fruit Salad for sure! 👍

So, as we reflect on 2023 and look forward to 2024, perhaps it's time to consider important decisions. Black Jack or Fruit Salad 🤔😉😊

@SimonLeney His book 'My war in SOE' is fantastic. Reading it over the Christmas holidays . 👍

@Chats1 @DorsetIc @WeHaveWaysPod Merry Christmas Andy! Love this!Hope we can catch up in the New Year. Cheers

Merry Christmas to the @DorsetIc - found this on the front of one of the War mags I’m using for the new book and thought of you guys! @WeHaveWaysPod

@uk08462 @rgpoulussen That's a great photo. (It's not a tank but would smash a Somua any day of week) 😆

@rgpoulussen @talktoboo jealous? (It’s still not a tank)

@drtorhumphreys @sommecourt That sounds great! 👌

@drtorhumphreys @sommecourt All good thanks. Going down lots of different rabbit holes at the moment! We must arrange a trip to Kew. Would love to come and chat on Talking History with Humphreys & Reed!

@drtorhumphreys @sommecourt At school, the careers advisor asked me 'So what career would you like to do?' I said 'I don't know, that's why I've come to see you', the response: 'Well if you don't know, then I can't help you!' 🙄

A mutiny began in the US Army #OTD 1943 in Bamber Bridge, Lancs after Military Police tried to arrest Black soldiers. When commanders demanded a colour bar in the town, pubs posted ‘Black Troops Only’ signs. Did your relatives discuss this? Let us know! theirfinesthour.org

"Remember, it didn’t start with gas chambers. It started with politicians dividing the people with ‘us vs. them.’ It started with intolerance and hate speech, and when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye, it became a slippery slope to genocide".

@stubertphoto @DorsetIc Big up the Dorsets!

One for @DorsetIc !

@SimonLeney @LL_running_girl Looking good Simon! 👍
