OMD in Wolves. Terrific night as always. Played some great tracks off their latest album ‘Bauhaus Staircase’.

Armchair General WW1 spotted in the wild in Waterstones Birmingham!

Ok, a costly purchase. Remastered at Abbey Road so must be better I tell myself. Frighteningly I can remember buying this first time round - 1982? Eeek.

@David_UKnorth @WeHaveWaysPod @almurray @James1940 @JohnBuckley1967 @wlv_uni Is it just me who thinks a large scale wargame in a massive marquee at a multi-day Second World War history festival, with the participants explaining their decisions and thinking to the live audience, would be fascinating?

Today on our battlefield tour of Normandy we studied Ops Totalize and Tractable, as well as the Falaise pocket. The key question set for our students: what were the main factors which slowed the pocket's closure? #ww2 #militaryhistory #ww2history

Canadian Military Cemetery, Bretteville. Discussing Operation Totalize today. A success or an over complicated plan? #ww2 #warstudies

Examining Operation Bluecoat today. We always visit the museum of the breakout in St Martin des Besaces. It’s great, one of the best museums in Normandy.

In Cagny, Normandy, looking at Operation Goodwood today. Who still believes Hans Von Luck’s story about the 88s? #ww2 #WorldofTanks @TankMuseum @warstudies_wlv @militaryhistori
