Remember today, all those men of 4th & 5th Bn’s of the Suffolk Regiment who endured captivity at the hands of the Japanese, especially all those who sadly never made it home. The casualty statistics are both staggering and sobering, showing the brutality of their captors…(1/3)

Wishing ourselves a Happy Birthday! The Rifles was formed in 2007 when four famous regiments came together to create the largest infantry regiment in the British Army, which would quickly become battle-hardened on operations across Iraq, Afghanistan and beyond.

Today would have been Ray Wilkins’ 68th Birthday. I can’t ever hear of him without remembering this story. https://t.co/3m4JKWOOlG

Getting it open to the public again would be brilliant. Perhaps @James1940 and @almurray could take up the flame.
Had a great visit to Derwent Dam Museum today. Quite an amazing place and wonderful tribute to 617 Squadron, the legendary dam busters! @James1940 @almurray

Been 20+ years since I was last at the @UkNatArchives Kew. Yesterday it was good to be back. Amazing to be able to access our history, and another piece to the puzzle found, although the quest continues looking for more #WW2 #MID #RAF @RAFR_HC @AncestryUK
