  1. I’ve seen dozens of #WW1 photo albums and this is undoubtedly the best I’ve ever seen!
    Mary nursed mainly at the established hospital at Cottonera and St Patrick’s temporary tented hospital.
    Lots of named nurses. I’ll be researching and blogging this weekend.
    Perfect!

  9. @elsua54 No failure when wanting to do the same various economic reasons.

    After the World Wars I believe they simply moved from physical-economic #war to #financial-#economic war

    #WW1 #WW2 still continues #Today just in a different / optimised style.

  13. WW1 in the mountains of #Slovenia was some crazy shit. Those limestone peaks were already riddled with karst caves. Troops dug forts into the mountains and shelled each other for months in stationary positions across valleys.

  19. Series of men who were executed for desertion in WWI:
    We remember Sergeant John Thomas Wall.
    John Thomas Wall was born in 1895, Worcestershire. He was the son of William Wall and Harriet Passey.
    In 1912 he enlisted in the Worcestershire Regiment 1st Battalion as a Drummer Boy. Service No. 13216.
    He had served on the Western Front from the beginning of WW1. When he arrived in France with the 3rd Battalion on the 12th August 1914, his rank was that of a Lance-Corporal. He had fought with his Battalion in every engagement and was promoted to Sergeant.
    In August 1917 the 3rd Battalion was in action near the Bellwarde Ridge, when Sergeant Wall went missing during the attack. This was unlike him and it could have been that he was suffering from "battle fatigue" which affected his mental state. Unfortunately, this was not considered at his trial.
    On the 6th September 1917, Sergeant Wall was executed by firing squad, for desertion, at Poperinghe. He was 22 years of age.
    He is buried at Poperinghe New Military Cemetery Belgium. #WW1 #shotatdawn

  21. “An Eala Bhan” (“The White Swan”) has been performed by a huge number of Gaelic artists from Julie Fowlis to Capercallie & Linda Macleod who grew up in the same part of North Uist as Dòmhnall Ruadh Chorùna. She speaks here to Cathy McDonald about the significance of the song and the man behind it

  23. Gur duilich leam mar tha mi
    ’S mo chridhe ’n sàs aig bròn
    Bhon an uair a dh’fhàg mi
    Beanntan ard a’ cheò
    Gleanntannan a’ mhànrain
    Nan loch, nam bàgh ‘s nan sròm
    ’S an eala bhàn tha tàmh orra
    Gach là air ’m bheil mi ’n tòir…

    —Dòmhnall Ruadh Chorùna, “An Eala Ban”

    The First Battle of the Somme began #OTD, 1 July, 1916. Dòmhnall Ruadh Chorùna / Donald MacDonald composed “An Eala Bhan” (“The White Swan”) during the battle.

  29. Il governo di #Israele ha riconosciuto all'unanimità le uccisioni di massa degli #armeni durante la Prima guerra mondiale come #genocidio.

    Del resto, quanto a genocidi, sono esperti in materia.
