Great to see the Brisbane Lions win the AFL Grand Final (especially as I am an old Fitzroy Lions fan from the VFL days)
Had a surprise visitor in the backyard this evening who I have just relocated to our local State Forest.
I may be stretching the definition of history a bit in a couple of different directions for #histbookchat#photofriday this week
It’s been a while since I’ve done a #histbookchat so here’s two books that arrived in the mail yesterday. Between a family connection to 2/31st Bn and being a gunner myself these books tick a couple of boxes for me.
This is a pretty good dissection of a book and author I am embarrassed to admit I took seriously around the time it was published. (Although, even then, I was unimpressed when he wrote about topics I was more familiar with, like 20th century warfare)
I scored a few Australian military biographies at the garrison library while I was doing reserve work this week - thanks to the poll I ran on Twitter, I’ll be making a start on Morshead this weekend #histbookchat
This week’s #histbookchat#photofriday is borrowed from one of the O-6s at the HQ I am working at as a reservist at the moment. Showing an interest in his professional library didn’t get me off the hook for the tasks he was handing out, though.
This instalment of #histbookchat#photofriday (a re-read after maybe 20 years) might be a bit of a counterpoint to my last entry.
No SWPA content in this instalment of #photofriday#histbookchat (sorry, NGFHQ), but it has been inspired by the job I have been given today as a reservist.
