This is the index for my remaining uncategorised articles for Colonel Joe Robinson's WW1 German history group, for which I produced weekly pieces during the UK lockdown. I also produced a six-part series on my Saxon Great-Grandfather's war and an exhaustive twenty-three part series on Saxon Landsturm infantry battalions. All of these heavily illustrated pieces were originally 'public', so you did not need to log in to Facebook (or even possess an account!) to read them.
Unfortunately the group has since gone PRIVATE, so currently you will need to join to view these pieces. I hope to either get this changed for my posts only, or else to recreate them on this website (which would be a LOT of work...).
