100 Years On - the end of the war and the final blog post. norfolkinworldwar1.org/2019/03/08/100…
While we aren’t around as much now #ww1 discoveries @MillenniumLib /@NorfolkHC & @PictureNorfolk still continue. This week’s discovery: a batch of #postcards & while we work through digitising them & transcribing their messages can anyone help us decode the message on the front?
So many congratulations to @hilary_mckay on winning the @CostaBookAwards prize for best Children’s Book. Don’t forget that you can borrow it from @NorfolkLibs but we bet you’ll want to own it once you’ve read it!
Montague Drew who is buried in West Winch Churchyard who was wounded on 20 Sep 16 & died of wounds on 1 Oct 16 in Cheltenham Hospital #WW1 #Norfolk @norfolkinww1 @CWGC
Don’t forget that this is the last week/weekend you can visit the brilliant #Armistice exhibition @NorwichCastle - it end on Sunday 6th Jan.
As 2019 dawns and the centenary commemorations of #WW1 #FWW wind down it is good to remember that the peace treaty with Germany wasn't signed until June 1919, with Austria until September, and the final Ottoman peace treaty not until 1923 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Pea… (image @I_W_M)
@norfolkinww1 Special post on it tomorrow on firstworldwaronthisday.blogspot.com turns out even identifying all of them from CWGC records isn't easy.
As 1918 drew to a close the people on the isles of Lewis and Harris were awaiting the return of their men from war in time for Hogmany. Sadly the celebrations turned to shock as the overloaded #Iolaire sank just 20 yards from the shore with the loss of 205 virtualheb.co.uk/iolaire-disast…
@stevesmith1944 @norfolkinww1 Yes you are right. He was part of 200 strong working party resupplying near the Hiden Koph now Serre Rd No 2 cemetery. Recognise the page out of the 9 Bn war diary
@trenchfoot7 @norfolkinww1 It looks like he died whilst the battalion was employed on a working party.
@stevesmith1944 @norfolkinww1 My Granddfather was KIA on the Somme, Aug 1916. He was 9th Bn Norfolk Regt. Buried in Knightsbridge CWG have visited often
Post war life in Norfolk returned slowly to normal and by 1920 people were starting to think of holidays again - as this free short film advertising the #Broads shows. player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watc…
The exciting #WW2 film the Great Escape is often shown over Christmas but did you know that there were daring escapes in #WW1 too? Borrow this great new book from @NorfolkLibs to find out more norfolk.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus…
Lest We Forget. Remembering the Fallen. norfolkinworldwar1.org/2018/12/28/les…
American President Wilson arrived in London on Boxing Day 1918 to meet with politicians and the King - film footage of his visit exists and can be viewed on line britishpathe.com/video/presiden…
While all @NorfolkLibs are closed for the Boxing Day Bank Holiday today don't forget that your library card lets you download ebooks, eaudio and emagazines so you don't have to be without a new read today! norfolk.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus…
Wishing all of our followers around the world a very Merry Christmas - we can't send you all a card so here's a link to dozens from #WW1 worldwar1postcards.com/christmas-post…
Whilst having fun browsing the @BFI free films we discovered this silent film from 1915 - take a few minutes break from the #Christmas preperations and enjoy this short film! player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watc…

@norfolkbookworm @typejunky @norfolkinww1 Definitely agree with Nick they are RFC the image I've posted is circa 1917 of William Dawes who died of influenza in January 1918.
@norfolkinww1 @thecoastguy #NotForgotten is a great read & thoughly recommended. I found it hard to put down.
@norfolkinww1 Remembered at this website livesofthefirstworldwar.org/lifestory/7508… There's a typo in the blog " Aubrey Cato, Born 1983, died October 1916 Somme " Happens to us all! livesofthefirstworldwar.org/lifestory/1640… has been updated from your blog as well.
@norfolkinww1 They pushed through part of Havrincourt Wood before advancing between Beauchamp and Gouzeaucourt eventually ending up where the 7th Battalion had been in November 1917 at Gonnelieu.
@norfolkinww1 Spooky I have just literally finished writing up the 1st Battalion Norfolk Regiment action around Gouzeaucourt between 27 and 30 September 1918.
@nigel_atter @CWGC @norfolkinww1 Thanks Nigel the plan is to have a template written by the end of this month and then in the new year to look for primary accounts and I'm drawing my own maps as this will be a guide book as well.
