As a musician and historian, the link between music and morale, is present, in military history. This was especially true in the Second World War. There is a campaign to create a memorial for ENSA at the National Memorial Arboretum. It is a memorial Id love to see unveiled. ensamemorialappeal.co.uk

Looking at digitised photos from the First World War Egypt and Palestine and Gallipoli. That moment the photos change from that almost “holiday photography” to photography of war and the cost of war is definitely something that hits it home a little bit more.

As one shining light of the American Presidency passes away… I fear we are about to see America ushered into a new Dark Age made more protracted by the ignorance of medical science.

30° to 40°F on 16th February 1916. Not the kind of information I hoped this war diary would contain.

Working my way through a Battalion War Diary to find it barely says much at all on the war, but more on weather. A little disappointing and makes my research harder.

After a brilliant weekend, which included seeing my best friend tie the knot and after the completion of a project last week. I’m rather selfishly enjoying the time out of work, just reading and catching up on life. New projects to start soon.

Does anyone know an easy way of posting a google earth tagged map of locations for a history project onto a website. It’s part done. Just need to get it finished and posted (somehow)
