80 years ago, 250,000 prayer cards were being distributed - Patton's Prayer. A huge, rush print job, far beyond the capability of printers in the 3rd Army Adjutant General’s office. The 664th Engineer Topographic Battalion took it on: multiple, large offset presses being ideal for 000s of copies.😊

Huge if true

Perhaps what he meant was he’d been on holiday to the battle sites at the Somme and had a bad time?

Rocking around the Christmas tree? It was a good breakfast brain teaser…

After seeing a picture of Neil Young my daughter commented “he doesn’t look that young” 🙄

Happy Tanksgiving 😂

Shouted a lot! 😉

My thinking is Patton would have forced the pace at Market Garden, which is somthing he did well when driving forward... I agree with you at Metz, Monty's structured approach would be well suited...

A hypothetical question came up yesterday… In 1944, what if Monty was at Metz and Patton led Market Garden? Would playing to their respective strengths have changed the outcomes? #WWII #whatif #history

If you enjoy the podcast about the First World War in popular culture that myself, @thehistorygirl1.bsky.social, and @anguswallace.bsky.social present, then feel free to tell the Guardian about us! 🗃️

The Good Allies: Canada and the USA When WWII began in 1939, it sparked a deadly conflict between the Axis and Allies, while also creating tense negotiations among the Allies. Diplomacy, military power, and economic decisions determined...

Just watching “Shetland” and they have a character called Angus Wallace 😮

'Saphire and Steel', ITV's answer 'Dr Who' (ITV, 1979). Assignment 2 (the second series), a seance, a ghost soldier, trapped souls, and the First World War. What is not to like?
Perhaps one for @owalpodcast.bsky.social ?

This year's 'We Have Ways Fest' is from September 12 to 14, which coincides with my daughter's birthday and my wedding anniversary. However, I am not sure I'll be able to negotiate a weekend pass from the family to go (unless I persuade them to come with me).
