A fantastic find just now - a new sketch map of Hurdcott Camp! Private Geoffrey Rose was at Hurdcott in 1917 and wrote his memoir in 1930 based on his war diaries. This map was drawn from memory but is remarkably accurate. His memoirs and diaries are held State Library of NSW

A real privilege to be part of a small tour group shown 'behind the scenes' at the latest excavations Pompeii Sites by Dr Sophie Hay today. Fascinating to hear Sophie discuss the findings and see the excavations in progress. How I wish I could spend more time here! Thanks Sophie!

#AnzacDay2025 observed today in Wiltshire. Thousands of Australian soldiers spent time at Hurdcott Camp during #WW1, they carved the Map of Australia on the chalk downland above their camp, a memory of home. Many never made it back and are buried locally. We will remember them.
