  • a compilation of my historical 1917 posts (so far):

    edit: i’m too lazy to update this with my newer posts but just put /tagged/mine after my url and you should find them all ily ♡♡

    rossi’s patch + the convoy lads’ regiment (worcestershire) + discussion about the royal signal corps

    captain smith’s regiment (cheshire) + a run-down of all known battalions and regiments in the film

    rambling about why the convoy lads were traveling with the cheshires + discussion of rossi being a cameronian (scottish rifle) 

    butler’s wound stripes

    scho + the hindenburg line + how that impacts his relationship with his and blake’s tree (it’s more likely than you think)

    scho + the german bunker + how that relates to the somme

    scho + the life of an infantry soldier

    conscription + the assignment of infantry soldiers to regiments, and how that relates to blake and scho

    how to write blake and scho’s battalion, regiment, division, etc.

    blake being a boy scout before the war

    infantry ranks in ww1 (but a funky remix, because tumblr made the post loop 12 thousand times) (we love to see it)

    the east surreys and their training

    scho + the return to the old somme battlefields (and i didn’t include the post that talks about what it must have been like for scho to hear captain smith mention bapaume, which was one of the original objectives for the opening day of the somme and which scho would have heard the name of over and over and over in the days leading up to it, but think about that too) (no actually here it is, why not: x)

    military and historical context for the film

    thiepval virtual experience

    bits and pieces + the last stand of the 2nd devons in 1918


    a compilation of posts where i say “i love him so much” in relation to scho a lot:

    my original “i’m so perpetually frustrated with audiences” zinger

    scho + home

    a soft main character in a war film

    scho + growing up in the dying victorian era

    scho + survival

    scho + his childhood

    scho + trauma

    scho + honesty

    scho + trauma pt. 2

    scho + how his instincts were blinded by blake

    the film’s ending

    more about scho’s character

    even more about scho’s character

    scho + blake’s rifle

    scho + being an outsider

    scho + all the boys he couldn’t save

    Keep reading

    hii ml i highly doubt you’re still here which is completely okay but on the off chance that you still are, i need to say genuinely thank you so much.

    this blog is so beautiful, your 1917 posts have completely wired my braincells in the best way possible and make me feel so safe and warm and cozy, it’s like walking home after a cold winters evening walk to a warm homemade meal before taking a shower, getting tucked into a freshly made bed and being held while you sleep.

    it’s so tender and so insanely beautiful, i have genuinely cried while reading your posts (in the best way), thank you so much for being here and even if you don’t post anymore, i hope more than anything that you are doing well.

    take care 🫶🏻

  • 🥹 thank you so much sweet love. the 1917 time was such a meaningful time for me and it still evokes the exact same feeling you describe - warmth and comfort and love. this means so much ❤️❤️

    i’m doing well!! i’m now doing my honours (masters in the uk) degree in history after just graduating my undergrad! my thesis has nothing to do with wwi, but everything i learned from scrounging through resources to answer messages here has genuinely helped my research so, so much <33 sometimes i go back to my long answers delving into minute details about regiments and wound stripes and things and i’m in awe of myself - i’ve forgotten 90% of that info and so reading it back i’m like, jesus christ i was good. i was really, really good. we all were. how wonderful ❤️

    thank you again, angel. i hope all my followers are doing magically and that you all know my old posts and interactions and memories here mean just as much to me as they seem to to you 🫶🏻 <33

  • broke: george is a bastard

    woke: george is a victim of the class system and the fact that he was orphaned at a fairly young age and raised by someone who was never meant to be a parent nor wanted to be one and who instilled within him poor coping mechanisms,
