So, here it is. Can the IWM *really* claim © on Crown Copyright images etc where copyright has long expired? Surely these images should be out of copyright & free to use, right? Right? /1 #History #Heritage #Museums

Today in 1944, Sapper D Lewis of the Royal Engineers shows off his 'extraordinary physique' built after four years' training. From a series of photos entitled 'Building bridges builds muscles'. Photos: Imperial War Museums H-series.

It’s the time of year again when our JS and their staff visit Normandy on Exercise LION’S SPIRIT to learn about the realities of war. This spring has been one of our biggest, with Waterloo Company (all 336 of them!) there now. 🧵 1/5 👇🏼

‘I’ll have a photo with you, but only if you put this on!!’ Happy as anything to be back out, seeing chums and telling stories.

We now have over 6,000 GWH Followers! Thank you so much to you all and here, as promised, is a sneak preview of our upcoming 1914 #Outbreak110 Exhibition in our brand new Changing Exhibition Space, which will be opening soon.

5th August 1914 - First day of mobilisation. Full dress uniforms are packed away, ammunition issued, and officers' swords sharpened. A conducting party, consisting of Capt. Axel Krook and two sergeants, departs for Perth where they will leave the colours and collect reservists.

It's the 110th anniversary of the Battle of Mons tomorrow. As with all history, separating the facts from the mythology, and understanding the difference, is something that should be done if we claim to 'remember' those who were there - combattants and civilians alike.

This weekend we launched our exhibition for #HeritageOpenDays! This year’s HODs theme is #RoutesNetworksConnections, so our Guard House exhibition explores the routes in which men and women joined the Armed Forces on the outbreak of war 110 years ago in 1914. 🧵 1/

We held a wonderfully uplifting service this afternoon in our Recreation Hut to celebrate the life of Dora Ringland. Dora has been a supporter of GWH ever since her first visit. It was lovely to be part of the celebration of her life among her family & friends. Thank you, Dora x
