Here's an early two-part animation about the need for U.S. soldiers of the Great War to be patient and wait until the army, facing an unprecedented logistical challenge in demobilization, got to them.

As the countdown to the release of The Life of a Medical Officer in WW1 commences, I thought I would share some daily snippets for your enjoyment. 1) During the First World War the British government became extremely concerned about the consumption of alcohol, fearing war production was being hampered by drunkenness. As such, they introduced several measures including the promotion of controlled drinking. :)

Today in 1858, Jeremiah Jones was born in Nova Scotia. At Vimy Ridge, he attacked a German gun emplacement himself & succeeded in taking it.
He was recommended for the Distinguished Conduct Medal but received no recognition for his heroics until 2010.

Fondest love and kisses from your loving Hubbie"

Putting an accordion arrangement of No Man's Land by Eric Bogle into a more compact lead sheet format, so I can play it without having to turn inconvenient sheets in a bulky book mid play! It is a beautiful tune by a Peebles-born Australian. #Accordion #Squeezebox #Music #SheetMusic #ScottishMusic #AustralianMusic #Scotland #Australia #WW1 #WorldWarOne #WWI #EricBogle #Peebles #ScottishBorders #History #WarHistory
