Yesterday Andy Moody gave a talk to the Tayside Branch of @TheWFA about the Medium Mark A Whippet tank “Musical Box” and her wartime service. Andy is part of a group who have recreated a life size replica of “Musical Box”.

Babies are dying of hypothermia.

"Despite telling civilians to head to the area, the Israeli military has struck al-Mawasi repeatedly during its campaign against Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza."

The problem with any of David Hepworth’s books is you get nothing else done. Sharp, funny and full of insight. Nobody knows like music biz like him, his oppo Mark Ellen maybe, but that’s it.

You might not think an offshoot of the US army signals corps forming a trade union and cutting down trees for airplane manufacture would be that interesting, you’d be wrong!

FOLLOW ALERT: military historian @alexchurchill.bsky.social is on #bluesky and runs one of the most fascinating #substacks, which offers articles, podcasts, and photos on a wide-range of historical topics! She's also an incredibly supportive person, always lifting others up. Show her some love!
Todays article constitutes the academic struggles of one maths nerd whose greatness nobody recognised, plus the plight of a lot of angry young men in France in the 1830s… and how all of this almost equals the back story to Les Misérables
