Long over due check in with Prof Dan Todman this week he reminded me: PT PhD = longer x life events Leaving the Army a big thing that takes time to resolve Starting a new career is stressful and probs has taken priority (rightly) Chipping away is good, milestones are better

We talked about my thesis on the Power People and Politics of the Centenary of the #FWW. As good historians there was the odd side track - including ephemera - for his new research - but also the craft, labour and volunteering of the Centenary. I had the bug again for sure 2/3

Finally we talked about knitting and it’s accessibility and it’s appeal to community and local projects. Sure enough Ripon didn’t disappoint this week.

Grave robbery in #WWI: The grave of Canadian Captain William Durie in Toronto. Captain Durie was killed in France in December 1917 and initially buried in Loos British Cemetery. When his mother Anna was unsuccessful in lobbying for his body to be returned to Canada, she took matters into her own hands. On the night of 25th July 1925 she stole into the cemetery, dug up her son's remains and returned to Canada with them hidden in a suitcase. She had them reburied in the family plot in August, in the only known instance of such a forcible repatriation from the First World War. linktr.ee/matmclachlan

Oil on canvas painting, titled 'The meeting of Wellington and Blücher at 'La Belle Alliance', 18 June 1815'. The painting is dominated by dark colours, with the light source being the moon behind clouds. The scene depicts a meeting of the two commanders in the aftermath of battle at the 'La Belle Alliance' tavern. They shake hands while wounded soldiers are being carried away on litters behind them.

Everyone is surprised we can’t have a national conversation about power, water, transport, education and health. Forgetting we *intentionally* created a nation of nations for the last 500 years or so. The vocality of our islands is local, not national. Plenty of friction.

This is a really good listen. Stunning sound track, well researched, plenty of moral dilemmas in there too. #TheBomb bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p08mdy…
