It's sunny and warm - oh, but to be in a field in England, pint in hand, hats on, listening to premium historical chat... come join us from 11th-13th September at Blackpit Brewery for the best way to spend a summery British weekend!
On this day... in 1944, Operation Market Garden began
Paratroopers were dropped near the targeted bridges, and XXX Corps began their advance from the Belgian-Dutch border.
It’s one of the most iconic photographs of the war. The man on the left is Sandy Cortmann, 22 years old when he jumped into Arnhem. He jumped again last year 75 years on. He passed away yesterday in Aberdeen. A hero to us all. #WeHaveWays@almurray@James1940
We are sorry to report that Harry Billinge, a Sapper who made it on to Gold beach shortly after dawn on D-Day, has passed away. @James1940 @almurray
TOMORROW: @almurray & @James1940 interview PM @Keir_Starmer at 10 Downing Street for VE Day.
He talks WW2, Ukraine, NATO...and reveals his favourite war movie.
