Warfare

 

I haven't posted anything lately in connection with Warfare, the online military history magazine. A while ago it changed its format but it's still out there and still worth a look I reckon. I had a quick gander the other day and came across this interesting little calendar feature. Take a look for yourself and see what you think

Warfare Magazine: Dambusters Special

Warfare: Merry Christmas

It's fast approaching the end of December and sad to say I've been suffering with a really nasty cold and cough over the past few days. So much so I haven't felt inclined to do very much apart from sleep and dose myself up to the eyeballs with painkillers and glucose syrup. Thankfully, I'm starting to feel a little more human once again and am taking the opportunity to do a bit of catching up with news and announcements I have neglected to post about over the past couple of weeks

Apologies for failing to post a Christmas greeting. I sincerely hope you all had an enjoyable day and that dear old Santa brought you everything you wished for. He brought me a few new additions to my humble collection and I will be sharing those with you in the not too distant future, all being well

On the subject of Christmas greetings, here's what landed in my inbox a little while ago from the team behind Warfare Magazine

Warfare Magazine: Latest Issue

 
The latest issue of Warfare Magazine is out so here is a brief summary of some of the content. Take a closer look by following the link below

31 July 2012 saw the 95th anniversary of the start of the Third battle of Ypres, known as Passchendaele. The Allies’ campaign at Passchendaele took place over several months in 1917, fighting for control of the ridges south and east of Ypres, West Flanders

Warfare has featured several articles over the duration of the Passchendaele campaign, including Britain’s Last Tommies at Passchendaele and Passchendaele: the German Experience, the most recent addition being a look at the Fall of Passchendaele and the end of the battle in November 1917

 

Warfare had the pleasure of meeting author Bryn Evans during his recent book tour, and he has written a short article to mark the 70th anniversary of Operation Torch and the East Surreys role in Tunisia, Sicily and Italy, along with his experience of meeting the granddaughter of one of the veterans; Operation Torch 70 Years On – An Anniversary to Connect the Generations

There are two new featured charities now live, looking at the work of Thank You Soldier - a website where the British public can send messages of support to serving members of the armed forces, and The War Graves Photographic Project working in association with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to photograph every war grave and memorial worldwide

Amongst other things on offer in this month's issue you will be able to enjoy the following articles and features

As Autumn dawns and Remembrance Sunday approaches, Warfare features a First World War story a little different from the norm: a look at the courts martial of a British soldier executed for murder during the First World War. Murderous Tommies by Mark Dunning and Julian Putkowski – an active supporter of the 'Shot at Dawn' war pardons campaign – explores the details of the case of Alexander Chisholm who, in April 1915, shot a fellow soldier and was executed.

Read more about the authors, their extensive research into the subject and ideas for future projects in the Author Spotlight. 

Warfare features articles on Operation Sealion – the proposed invasion of Britain following the Fall of Dunkirk in June 1940, and on Britain's Defences during the Battle of Britain, 1940. 2012 saw the 95th anniversary of the Battle of Passchendaele – the Third Battle of Ypres – and Warfare featured articles on the final memories of the war by those who were there in Britain's Last Tommies at Passchendaele by Richard Van Emden, and Jack Sheldon's account of the German Experience at Passchendaele, including footage from the battlefields. This year also saw the 70th anniversary of the Dieppe Raid, an account of which features in the article by Tim Saunders: Dieppe – Operation Jubilee.

Tunisia's Toll Readers who enjoyed Bryn Evans' article With the East Surreys in Tunisia, Sicily and Italy 1942-45 will be interested to know that Bryn has penned a second article on the East Surrey Regiment during the Second World War, this time focusing on the Tunisian campaign in April and May 1943. Click here to read the article... An interview with military historian Paul Reed discussing his consultancy role on the BBC documentary series Dig WW2 and what went on behind the scenes, a look at the work of the group Waterloo200 by Gemma Bagshaw and the upcoming 200-year anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, plus their efforts to introduce the Napoleonic Wars into schools, and a report by In Memoriam 2014 project officer Annette Gaykema, about the recent excavations in the Somme village of La Boisselle.

As already said, it really is a thoroughly enjoyable bed time read and well worth adding to your lists. Subscribe today!
