1st month of the Battle in February 1916, Petain & Verdun, Saviour or Scapegoat? Ever wanted to know why Petain was selected? When did he even arrive? Who selected him? Was he pivotal in the early days of the battle? Was he the perfect scapegoat? 🧵on my thoughts from my reading and research

Todays article is up and this time it’s all about the change of heart Brits had to face in #WW1 when it came to the French… After nigh on a millenium at each others’ throats, how did the Poilu look… When one art-based publication set out to try and sell Britain’s new ally to the people in 1916?

6.2.16 I thought I would send a note today, these days are long so long for me especially today. This afternoon, we were supposed to have a concert as I told you but it was changed, we had a movie instead which was not too bad. Nothing new, I think we will go back to the trenches & in the same place
