Last week, my X account was hacked and taken over… and destroyed. When I created a new account this morning, I discovered my old Twitter handle was still available. Always remember that when things get lost, or fall apart, you can always rebuild. Please 🙏 follow me again! 🙂

This one-minute footage is likely from 1943. It shows Aussie Diggers - former POWs being repatriated home from Germany - visiting the El Alamein cemetery to pay their respects to fallen mates. Over 1200 Australians gave their lives over July to Nov 1942 at El Alamein. 🙏🇦🇺

#OnThisDay 1803 Thomas Russell, one of the founders of the United Irishmen was hanged, then beheaded in Downpatrick Gaol for his support of the Emmet Rebellion. Russell had tried to organise a rebellion in Ulster to link with Emmet in Dublin but it failed. #Ireland #History

#OnThisDay 1943 The 2nd Bn London Irish Rifles, 38 Irish Brigade, attacked and took the village of Petacciato, Italy. One patrol 'killed a couple of suspicious-looking “civilians” who were found to be German Panzer Grenadiers in disguise'. #Ireland #History #WW2
