Just finished this, great read. Writing about a relatively well known battle from a different perspective, focusing on just one day worked brilliantly. An informative and engaging read with an immersive immediacy. On to the next one! @almurray @James1940

Did you know sparklers burn at temperatures far higher than a BBQ or boiling water? Every year children are injured by sparklers. Follow the advice and keep kids safe ⬇️ ow.ly/8JvR50Xhsj8

The safest way to watch fireworks this Bonfire Night is to attend an organised public display. But if you are using fireworks at home, make sure you know the Firework Code ⬇️ ow.ly/NWO250Xfwk2

Any attack on a firefighter is totally unacceptable and can significantly impact our ability to keep communities safe No one should go to work and be assaulted. Respect those who keep us safe and help us to be there for our communities this Bonfire Night.
