Fragments of the First AIF - 2/Lieut Arthur Bruce Cork A troubled man from Queensland who ultimately and disastrously failed.

A new episode of Fragments of the First AIF is out today - Arthur Bruce Cork's story is a sweeping saga of war, ostriches, murder and suicide. Not for the faint hearted.

Podcasting has been... scary... but I'm resigned to my fate now! Let me know what you think!

You've just helped me work out what's going on with @mariankeyes.bsky.social at the moment.

Me either. I generally don't use the gender-defining parts of my body to do history.

I mean, maybe they know something we don't?

So today marks the point where I've spent the same number of days in the 1900s as the 2000s. Unless something goes horribly wrong in the next 8.5 hours, I'll be spending the majority of my life in the 21st Century as predicted.

I love this, and I've just ordered your book. I love the idea of looking at change through time in the exact same location. I'll never get time to study it, but I'll read the heck out of it.

So I left my job as a military historian to be at home with the kids (and do more research and writing). I've joked for a couple of years now that I'm not a housewife, I'm a house historian. I was pretty sure there must be actual historians of houses out there though! Pleased to meet you at last.

My teacher read The Hobbit to the class when I was about 8. I vividly remember getting to read part of "Out of the Frying Pan into the Fire" from out the front. I first read Lord of the Rings when I was 10, then every year into my 20s. I need to read it again!
