_The Evening Post_, 26 February 1925:
WOMEN IN
PRINT.
Mention is made in the Southern papers of the death of Mrs. J. H. #Davison, of St. Leonard’s, #Culverden, a very well-known and highly respected old resident of North #Canterbury. The late Mrs. Davison was a daughter of the late Mr. George Andrew Oliver, of Hawkes Bay, and was born in 1857. Her marriage took place in 1881, when she took up her residence at St. Leonard’s, and has remained ever since. Mrs. Davison leaves a great many attached friends both in the #Amuri and in other parts of the Dominion. During the war her activities were unceasing, and the death of one of her sons (Mr. F. Davison), who was killed in action, was a blow from which she really never recovered. Mrs. Davison is survived by her husband (Mr. J. H. Davison), who has been in the district for over sixty years, and has held a number of public positions. There are three surviving sons, Messrs. E. B. Davison, L. H. Davison, and J. W. Davison, all of Amuri; also four daughters, Mesdames E. F. W. Lascelles (who is residing in India), H. G. Martin, A. Cole, and Miss E. H. Davison.

One thing I miss about Twitter is being able to ask a question like "Did ANZAC troops on the Western Front in WWI paint kiwi or other symbols on their Brodie helmets?" and actually get relatively regularly expert input.
The Fedi rocks. But it's very fractured

A few years ago I was on a trip to Paris with my girlfriend and her father. On the way back, we made a detour to #Verdun . This is the #cemetery at the Douaumont ossuary. I won a prize in the CT Digital #Photography magazine with this picture. #history #ww1 #memorial #warmemorial #hdr
why is this #weeny crying? will his kids go to war? (unlikely because he is part of the #rich elite, only the #poor will DIE for even more #profit!) let me tell you this: after #ww2 and the EXCELLENT #Marshallplan of course #EU and #USA were friends, because #USA effectively helped #Europe recover from the #destruction (not without profiting) so #Europe has ALWAYS been a #Theater for #Americans to play in, play #war, play #influence. Whoever thinks this will change overnight is gravely mistaken, #Europe DOES NOT EVEL BUILD A SINGLE SMART PHONE X-D #Europe is COMPLETELY dependant on #US and #China #infotec companies (so much for "#independence"?) a #EU #Army will not solve that problem X-D
the #US #colony called #Europe is about to get thrown into the same #war and #profiteering #abyss as #Ukraine #wtf? just for #rich #asholes to get #richer that's all (read #ww1 #veteran #SmedleyButtler #warisaracket) #msc2025

Beautiful WW1 art by a Nazi-degenerate. I had the great honor/ pleasure of working with the author-Prof. Irene Guenther on this important work.
"Hand-painted postcards sent from the trenches reveal one German soldier's intimate view of World War One. Art student Otto Schubert was 22 years old when he went into the war...he painted a series of postcards that he sent to his sweetheart, Irma. "

Book Review #3 for 2025 is Robert Gaudi's African Kaiser: General Paul Von Lettow-Vorbeck and the Great War in Africa, 1914-1918. A very interesting read about a German General who held off an increasingly larger British and South African force across East Africa in World War 1. He surrendered only after hearing the Armistice was signed.

Reposting my #Introduction because there's a flurry of new folks -- and I'm an eternal optimist at finding fellow Welsh writing in English peeps. So here goes:
I work as the Community Outreach Officer for the Welsh Dictionary of Biography, more collquially called the #Bywgraffiadur, at the #NationalLibraryOfWales. Our goal is to close representational gaps and set the Dictionary on a course of recording the diverse lives of historical Welsh people in all their facets. https://biography.wales/
Otherwise, I'm working on #WelshWritingInEnglish mostly from the long #C19. Other research interests include #TravelWriting, particularly illustrated accounts and the history of the #VisitorsBook. I'm also into #PublicHistory and community outreach, sometimes abt #PortHeritage, #WW1 German submarine warfare and its effects on Welsh communities.
I share longer #WiP here: https://bydbach.hcommons.org/
Toots will be mostly in #English, but occasionally also in #Deutsch and #Cymraeg.

The book lists all 89 men and includes information about their lives, their families, and the communities they came from. Many of the men were experienced seamen but some had only recently been conscripted into service. #WW1 #RoyalNavy #Orkney
