Finally put my thoughts together on 'Goodbye to All That', a memoir by WWI poet Robert Graves. If you like me, haven't read any World War I memoirs by soldiers on active duty back then, this is a good place to start. abstractaf.in/goodbye-to-all… #books #readingcommunity #writers

As ever, a joy to work with Paul Reed on the Mannock VC episode. My input aside 😉 it will be well worthwhile signing up to Old Front Line Podcast for Air War Month, starting this Saturday.

Interesting to see the Claude Lowther connection, the founder of Lowther’s Lambs, but as yet no mention of Neville Lytton who was one of his officers who knew Churchill and may have met him in France? Might the writing be his?
