Well that went well, great @alderneylit.bsky.social audience, & it really feels significant to talk about #AgentZo’s resistance history in the only part of Britain also occupied during the #SecondWorldWar.

A few less formal pics from the ANFB presentation of the #Chevalier d’Argent & ravivage at the #ArcDuTriomphe.

I still can’t quite believe this happened, but utterly delighted that women’s service during the #SecondWorldWar is gaining more attention!

Some people go on holiday for sun, sex and sangria. Not me, I go for concrete. #SecondWorldWar Italian defences on the edge of Zadar. There was originally a lot more, but many seem to have been demolished.

Mules played an important role in the Med, North Africa and Burma during #SecondWorldWar, not least because they are far better equipped to deal with heat than horses, thanks to their larger ears, thicker skin and higher tolerance for dehydration.
