Fl.Lt. Harold MacDonald
One of THE FEW.

Although his parachute opened he was too low and he was killed. His Spitfire, L1076, crashed on to the parade ground at Brompton Barracks, Gillingham and MacDonald’s body fell nearby.

VC for Valour: Today we remember Royal Engineer Maj. Brett Cloutman VC, 59th Field Company. Maj. Cloutman was awarded his VC for action on 6 November 1918 at Pont-sur-Sambre, France. It was the last action to win a VC in the War. #proudsapper #thankyou100 ow.ly/JlAG30mpyCA pic.twitter.com/0Yol8JNppY

Today we remember Sapper Adam Archibald VC. A flagstone in his memory is being unveiled in Leith this morning. He was awarded the Victoria Cross for bravery while building a floating bridge on 4 Nov 1918 under heavy artillery barrage, machine-gun fire and gas attack. #thankyou100 pic.twitter.com/3tItqcDEx8

More Sappers studying our rich history and drawing valuable lessons, this time from a far more recent conflict. A study of the Balkans campaign offers many striking similarities with potential problems of the future and provokes great debate about how we might prepare for them twitter.com/63WksGpCO/stat…

Great to see Sappers in Flanders during the 100th Anniversary year. An enormous Sapper effort during the war and still such a rich amount to see and learn. Glad you were able to be part of the ceremony at the Menin Gate twitter.com/62WksGpCo/stat…

I’ve attended these in the past and cannot promote them enough for others to do so also. They are hugely supported, there are some great speakers and furthermore, they are FREE! #development @RE_Hist_Society @3RSMERegt @Proud_Sappers twitter.com/WarTalks/statu…
