At the Gallipoli Association conference last week it was a pleasure to bring the Orlo Williams cipher officer story to a wider audience. Sold lots of books, and the good news is I still have a few softback copies left at £17.99 incl UK postage. DM me if you are overseas 📚

The regional @gallipoliassoc.bsky.social conference held in conjunction with @greatwarhuts.bsky.social was a great success today. With nearly 70 attendees & mix of Western Front rain and Gallipoli sunshine, the day couldn’t have gone better. Thanks all for attending

“I scooted for our lines, sticky with fear. I vomited brandy and milk and bile all over my instrument panel. Yes, it was very romantic flying, people said later, like a knight errant in the clean blue sky of personal combat, in whipcord breeches and a British tunic with long Bond-Street-cut tails.”

Amongst many others we paid our respects to Gallipoli veteran Gunner Basil Wood Bourne. He returned to the battlefield for the 50th anniversary and died of heart failure when stepping off the coach at Anzac Cove.

“Strange -- I seem to remember -- that the cathedral was on the other side of the square." It was great meeting actor Derren Nesbitt aka No.2 in The Prisoner and SS-Sturmbannführer von Hapen from ‘Where Eagles Dare’. Working with Burton and Eastwood sounded like fun.
