Our next NW Pub Meet is at 7pm on Wed Feb 11th, in Preston.

Ahem.
All welcome for nosh and waffle, bring your own mushy peas.

A small brag from me, they shared my humble memory of meeting "Kjakan" and the story of my grandfather pranking a wehrmacht soldier. Please listen, they do a brilliant podcast #wehaveways

Phil Craigโs 1945: The Reckoning was my companion on our recent trip to Melbourne & the Great Ocean Road. An excellent Summer read to accompany the many small & independent local beers we sampled. Whatโs not to like?๐๏ธ ๐ ๐ป

Interesting. Allies very much on the front foot by this point in the War. Did they have access to white camouflage fatigues? Genuinely interested #WeHaveWays #WarWaffle

Great ๐ find on the weekend. ๐ฆ๐บ war correspondent Wilfred Burchett traveled extensively in China, Burma & India reporting on the war. He was later the 1st Western journalist to visit Hiroshima. Post-#WWII, he became controversial figure.

Passage from book on XIth Hussars re their move to Egypt in 1934
Inside covers of Eleventh at War by Dudley Clarke
Picked up a copy of #RogueHeroes Dudley Clarkes' book re the XIth Hussars #RougeHeroes following a conversation at #WeHaveWays re armoured cars in the inter war period ๐ค
Cherrypicking here ๐ but the part re 2 MGs in 1914 vs 40 when the XIth went to Egypt in 1934 caught the eye ๐

The Northern IC sends our best wishes and a crate of pies to NW stalwart @riksbar.bsky.social who, returning from WHWFV, tested a Land Rover's ability to drive on its side.
Spoiler: it doesn't. Ouch.
Get well soon Erik, the pub meets are waiting. #WeHaveWays #NWmanDown

A profound moment when a chap produces a โhinomaruโ flag taken by his father in Burma. We shouldnโt need a reminder of the horrors of war, but the obvious and copious dried blood stains on the flag were a tangible โtake your breath awayโ moment. #wehavewaysfest #wehaveways @almurray.bsky.social
