That moment you're feeling the ominous cloud of impostor syndrome threatening to rain on your productivity parade in this daunting task of writing a historical fiction novel...
And the Universe sends encouragement with a comment reply. Thanks @historian1914.bsky.social!
Really enjoyed recording this podcast with
@historian1914.bsky.social
on the Boer war 1899-1902 and Ireland's role in it. We discuss: Irish Brigades on both sides, Afrikaner nationalism, British empire in S Africa, guerrilla war, concentration camps and more. irishhistoryshow.ie/112-the-boer...
In our podcast, @historian1914.bsky.social and I covered the basic story of #Verdun at an introductory level for an English speaking audience. In that sense, yes, little has changed, but French historiography has made leaps and bounds on this.
Good piece!

Friday night #wargame - Command & Colours: The Great War! It's 7th July 1916 and the 38th (Welsh) Division is about to begin its assault on the German position at Mametz Wood... #WW1
The podcast I've been a guest on for French #WWI episodes with @historian1914.bsky.social and @battleguidevt.bsky.social, is the #4 history podcast in the US and #3 in the UK!
The final part of our dive into the French Army of #WWI is out. Thanks to @battleguidevt.bsky.social and @historian1914.bsky.social for the opportunity. I hope we made a dent in the Anglophone world's understanding of French #history, making it more than a footnote.

Thank you Red! Let me know what you think of the book!
And still very, very true!
Brilliant! What are you painting currently?
Thanks Mark!
I'll defer to @taubhistory.bsky.social on that one - my French pronunciation is pure Tommy Atkins I'm afraid!
Pleased to see the latest episode of Not So Quiet on the Western Front with @taubhistory.bsky.social has been a huge hit - no.17 in the overall history charts for Spotify! 😀
The monastery awaits - defended by merciless bandits and filled with hidden dangers...

A frustrating day at work today has been improved by finding this comment on my recent Turning Points 1914 lecture for The WFA on YouTube. It's nice to know that someone appreciates my work - thank you Mr/Mrs/Miss CatShark, you brightened up my day! 😄
Niche content & I love it!
Great to be back on YouTube with the WFA!
Turning Points in 1914 - WW1 wasn’t destined for trench stalemate. In this Western Front Association lecture, I dig into the moments that almost changed the war entirely.

Video lecture by @historian1914.bsky.social on how the British Army learned vital lessons from the Boer War which served them well in the BEF.

Dr Spencer Jones has written an excellent book about this topic too. #HistoryBookChat
Thanks Ian, delighted that you enjoyed it and the books too. The original video is quite old (I didn't have a single grey hair back then). and had vanished from YouTube some time ago, so I thought it was worth reuploading!
Beautiful weather for a visit to Utah Beach.
