#Netaji #SubhasChandraBose and his #INA launched their struggle against the #British with the help of #Japan in #WorldWarII. But did you know that Indian #nationalists & #revolutionaries had deep ties with #Japan even earlier?

1/ There's no denying that we're in a mess!
By the Law of Unintended Consequences, every time we try to fix A, we create problems B, C, D, E, etc.
We hardly understand these new problems unless there's hindsight to connect the dots...

#TankTuesday #WW1 #WW2 #MAFVA #France #tanks - 1917 #Renault FT... The most influential #tank ever. Let's tour it inside and out, shall we? THREAD 1/

Some firsts: revolving turret, sprung suspension, low track and rear engine. Thousands built. Also used by USA, Italy, Russia, etc. Crew 2: 6.5 tons. 4 mph. Its armament was a Puteaux L/21 SA18 37mm cannon or a machine gun but not both.

The black and white one (from @C_VargasHarle / Renault archives) shows the commander’s "basket". The other three are from an American M1917 clone.
Let's be honest: This man had a lot more dignity than we did:
We (the coalition of countries, led by America and Great Britain) murdered him and bombed the crap out of his country, ...
Why? Exactly. The reasons our leaders gave were bullshit!

We knew #Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction. So did #DrDavidKelly, who was murdered for saying so!

The Gurkhas played an essential role in establishing the British Raj in India and fought for the British in Afghanistan, what was then Burma, Tibet and in countless other conflicts.

I saw the movie #Apollo13 with #LunarModule Program Director #JoeGavin. Now it’s time to tell the forgotten story—which that film doesn’t show—of how he & his #Grumman #Team helped rescue the astronauts with a #LMLifeboat while the world watched: andrewerickson.com/2020/04/apollo… #Apollo50
Five decades ago, during the aborted #Apollo13 mission of April 1970, #Grumman Aerospace Corporation’s #LunarModule saved 3 astronauts by becoming a lifeboat-tugboat. Throughout the crisis, #LM Program Director #JoeGavin manned his post @NASA’s #MissionControl Center in #Houston.
Gavin led a multi-hundred-person team in Houston & Bethpage, NY to help coordinate assessment & use of the #LM’s capabilities for emergency #LunarLifeboat role.
Gavin, virtually all of his colleagues + contemporaries & #Grumman itself have subsequently departed from the scene.

#HematologyTweetstory 8: Auer rods! These peculiar cell inclusions are a worrisome finding, defining an immature blast cell as one of myeloid lineage… and they are also probably mis-named. This image is from a chapter I wrote for a board review book @MayoClinic circa 2007. /1
Eponymous John Auer (1875-1948) was from Rochester, New York. He got his BS @UMich, started his medical training at @HopkinsMedicine in 1898, then moved to @RockefellerInst in 1903 where he worked on anesthesia (and also married Dr. Clara Meltzer, the daughter of his mentor.) /2
In 1906, in #AJMS, Auer described peculiar rod-shaped structures in the blood cells of a 21 y/o Spanish-American War veteran who presented to Osler’s service @HopkinsMedicine with tonsillitis and epistaxis, and was found to have anemia and leukocytosis. Their diagnosis: ALL. /3

After fierce fighting in late 1914 and early 1915, Ploegsteert Wood became a quiet sector where no major action took place. Units were sent here to recuperate and retrain after tougher fighting elsewhere and before returning to take part in more active operations.
British Tommies referred to Ploegsteert Wood as "Plugstreet Wood". From January to May 1916, Winston Churchill served in the area as Commanding Officer (Lieutenant-Colonel) of the 6th Battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers.

The total number of military and civilian casualties in World War I was about 40 million: estimates range from 15 to 19 million deaths and about 23 million wounded military personnel, ranking it among the deadliest conflicts in human history.
The total number of deaths includes from 9 to 11 million military personnel. The civilian death toll was about 8 million, including about 6 million due to war-related famine and disease.

The Battle of Vimy Ridge was part of the Battle of Arras, in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France, during the First World War. The main combatants were the four divisions of the Canadian Corps in the First Army, against three divisions of the German 6th Army.
Vimy Ridge is an escarpment 8 km (5.0 mi) northeast of Arras on the western edge of the Douai Plain. The ridge rises gradually on its western side and drops more quickly on the eastern side.
