I love Derek for his modern fashion sense, but this thread struck me as odd too. Thanks to @KKriegeBlog for doing an excellent job of correcting (as usual!)

So, with the greatest respect to Derek for his fashion sense, which in a modern setting completely outstrips my own, I do want to offer a few thoughts on this thread, as a professional historian who has constructed many reproduction items of clothing from the 18th Century. 🧵1/20

Our Light Infantry school attendees yesterday (just missing @tom4141tom who had to slip away). I had a fantastic time leading this group of enthusiastic people. I can't believe we did 4+ hours of drill without complaints!

This is my first attempt at using @ArcGISStoryMaps. What an incredible tool! I have only scratched the surface, but I hope you'll check out this story of a member of the King's German Legion. The Travels of Friedrich Lindau storymaps.arcgis.com/stories… #StoryMaps via
