A sheet of paper decorated with a bright border, depicting scenes from the First World War and flags of the Allies in little roundels. It has a heading in Gothic font saying: 'The Grammar School, Wirksworth. Founded AD. 1576. Roll of Service'. Beneath this is a list of 83 former pupils, including their name and regiment.
This beautiful document is a Roll of Service to commemorate former pupils at Anthony Gell School, then known as Wirksworth Grammar School, who served during the First World War. Each entry includes a name and their regiment.

For #blackandwhitewednesday we’ve found this lovely snap from #WW1. It’s from a collection of photographs belonging to Sgt. Harry Coates, 2nd Battalion, Welsh Regiment, and was taken in France in 1916. We love that the soldier in the centre has his accordion with him! #music #firstworldwar #archive

Me at the Arras Memorial wearing my poppy.
The site where Archduke franz Ferdinand was assassinated on June 28, 1914 - the event that triggered the outbreak of the First World War.
Preserved trenches at the Sanctuary Museum near Ypres.
I am such a #FirstWorldWar geek.
I visited the Western Front twice in 2024 - doing tours around Arras (the Somme) and Ypres.
Last year, I went to Sarajevo to see the site of the assassination.
And now I've just booked a trip to Turkey, where I intend to visit Gallipoli and Istanbul!! ✈️

At Beaumont-Hamel on the Somme, a German officer picked up a fragment of stained glass in 1914.
He carried it through the war and returned it nearly 50 years later.
A small, human story from the Western Front.

Battle Guide has just dropped an analysis of a single grid square on the #Somme. The focus of the story is how many bodies were recovered there by graves registration teams after the Great War. To me, this is a must-watch story for those interested in the #FirstWorldWar.

A white man with a long face, wearing a suit with a dark tie and a high collar.
Bio of the Day: Harry Woodburn Blaylock (1878–1928), lawyer, businessman, and chief commissioner of the Canadian Red Cross.
He made outstanding efforts to alleviate the suffering of his fellow men. #WorldWarI #FirstWorldWar #WWI www.biographi.ca/en/bio/blayl...
A cartoon of three men in casual dress stood to attention holding their bayonets. All three look very tired. A caption underneath says "the cheerful countenances with which we greet our bayonet fighting instructor at 6:15am!". There is a dog next to the group with a speech bubble saying "Golly! He's snoring!"
This cartoon from May 1916 shows men turning up for early morning military training. It was drawn by Horace J. Rylands during his #FirstWorldWar service. Horace was born in Torquay, but spent most of his life in Sheffield as an engineer with the Tramway Department, before moving to Bakewell.
