@footballandwar Does the ball say 66 Div? Units involved (mostly east Lancs regiments) here: longlongtrail.co.uk/army/order-of-… Ace of clubs (if that's what it is) not a usual 66 Div badge though. Close up of the cap badges might help.

@Ri315e @bigandylock @churchill_alex @HistoryandMoore @NL_Collier @SteveMarsdin @WW1podcast @GilesMacDonogh @militaryhistori @1J1Poilu @TaubHistory In the end, it mattered not: Gallieni (posthumously), Lyautey, Franchet d'Esperey and Fayolle were all made Marshals in 1921 (before the competition began, which is why their names do not appear), and Maunoury (again posthuously) in 1923. 8 & end

@Ri315e @bigandylock @churchill_alex @HistoryandMoore @NL_Collier @SteveMarsdin @WW1podcast @GilesMacDonogh @militaryhistori @1J1Poilu @TaubHistory And never having a field command did Weygand no harm. Which makes me wonder if a lot of the voters were men around headquarters, rather than in the trenches. 7/

We are about to launch ourselves, fearlessly and irresponsibly, into 24 days of voting for our favourite flags. Who knows the arduous choices we will be faced with? The spectacle. The INTRIGUE. The nail-biting drama. But first, some notes to keep us safe and out of trouble.
