A mere 6 months/ish until my new book ‘Burying the Enemy’ comes out with @yalebooks: https://t.co/UxfCmwYTtt It’s about death in the world wars, but with a difference. It essentially asks: how do you bury the enemy? I’ll post more nearer the time @HistArchChester @LeverhulmeTrust

Straight off the ferry from Gothenburg and with time to „Kiel“, just managed one final visit for the enemy war dead project.

Impressive first @uochester Festival of Ideas programme. With perfect timing, Roland Clark and I are discussing interwar fascism this Thursday. Join us in Chester town hall at midday for exhibition and chat:

Amazing display case in Amiens Hotel de Ville containing gifts exchanged from town twinning events and other moments of international diplomacy. Great to see all this doesn’t just disappear into a cupboard or worse!

One of the joys of this French WWI conference is not only the discussions against the backdrop of Amiens but crucially a very long lunch with wine too. Most relaxed.

A really fantastic scheme! It was such a luxury to have a full day in London discussing draft chapters with generous colleagues. Really helped to shape my forthcoming book on the enemy war dead with @YaleBooks

After years of attacking the arts and humanities, Rishi Sunak seems to be discovering the value of studying history and understanding the past the hard way! #DDay

One of the more interesting walks to think about German-Jewish history. But well worth it for the view and for the amazing @CatalystSDC archive.

The sight and smell of sewage flowing into a river. Nothing like the great British bank holiday experience!

Surprised to see Elsa Brändström still going strong in Frankfurt. One of the favourites for the various groups of former German POWs in the interwar years.

Off to Brussels this evening for some final book research in Frankfurt later in the week. The train does at least give plenty of quiet time for reading through the draft manuscript, at least that’s the plan #buryingtheenemy @YaleBooks @LeverhulmeTrust

Network on post-conflict exhumations coming together nicely. Our exhumation database is growing; https://t.co/RVsEVpmxRV. And now we’ve had a day of discussions in Kingston, with Layla Renshaw, leading the way… #fillingthevoid
