Hey bsky folks, if you were one of the many to share my post about cuts to Birmingham libraries, share this one too. £51m cuts proposed for children’s services here in the UK’s second biggest city: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...

More than a hundred doctors in Birmingham have written to the council to criticise its plans to cut ÂŁ51m from children's services.
The local authority published draft budget documents on Monday indicating how it would respond after declaring itself effectively bankrupt.
In total, 109 doctors shared concern such a sum would be cut from funds meant for young people and families.
The council said it was "inevitable" services would change as a result.
The letter stated that years of austerity had increased "extreme child poverty" in the city.
"This has caused a surge in child mental health referrals, increased the number of children in care, and more children are suffering from ill health through preventable causes," the letter added.

My uncle was a Wireless Operator Air Gunner on a Lancaster. Sadly he and comrades were KIA Dec 1944. Dad remembers him at home with his fur lined boots.

Dear friends, Is it possible to find out what the distribution was for Central Distribution Section (CDS) pamphlets in 1915? Were officers responsible for disseminating the doctrine/guidance to company /platoon level? Thank you!
