I’m about halfway through this outstanding compilation of diary entries, mostly from regimental officers of the 2nd Battalion, #GrenadierGuards from #1914. It’s full of fascinating details that often get omitted from history works. Highly recommended! @thegreatwargroup.bsky.social

Immensely proud to be at the #NationalArmyMuseum unveiling of my partner, #IanWolter’s latest commission: a bronze bust of a serving member of the #GrenadierGuards.
It enters the collection as partner to a bronze of a #WW1 #Tommy
Such a great museum, do go take a look!

Luke Pollard MP:

Thanks to the hundreds of Armed Forces personnel raising money for the #RoyalBritishLegion on London Poppy Day.

It was great to join them - and the Band of the #GrenadierGuards - to meet commuters and collect donations this morning at London Paddington.

I’ve sort of been doing a deep dive lately into the 1914 BEF. Arguably it was the finest unit ever sent to the opening stages of a war.

Imagine the idea of 15 rounds a minute-the training, repetition, the simple courage to stand in the fire. #FWWHist ##FWW #Tommy #GrenadierGuards #Alamystockphoto

I’ve just finished “Fifteen Rounds a Minute” , which is composed of letter extracts and diary entries from officers of 2nd Bn #GrenadierGuards in 1914. The CO from 9/14 was Lt Col Wilfrid R. A. Smith. He cared deeply for his men and mourned every loss. He wrote these words on 29Oct1914 near #Ypres.
