418 officers and 10,282 soliders who died as part of the British Salonika Force 🇬🇧 during #WW1 have their memorial just south of Dojran in 🇬🇷. Thank you Commonwealth War Graves 🙏🏼 for keeping their final resting place in such beautiful condition. UK in North Macedonia UK in Greece
A short break between meetings in #Skopje 🇲🇰 gave me a chance to check in on the only Commonwealth War Graves 🇬🇧 graveyard in #NorthMacedonia - it was in great condition, despite the heat ☀️! Both civilians and soldiers are honoured here. UK in North Macedonia Glenn Stennes
Last week I visited the church of St Archangel Michael in #Skopje with my colleague from Serbia in North Macedonia.

Tremendous talk by the two authors on their book about the grotesque phenomenon that was Prigozhin. Mark Galeotti Anna Arutunyan
…and the second tremendous talk in two days, this one by Lawrence Freedman at the The BEARR Trust annual lecture. Just brilliant.
