From Harry Styles to Paul Mescal, these are the buzziest performances you can’t miss this year. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Already one of the biggest pop stars in the world, Styles — who appeared in Christopher Nolan’s #Dunkirk — steps into his most significant film roles yet this #Oscars season. latimes.com/entertainment-… Image
In Olivia Wilde’s #DontWorryDarling, he’s the seemingly perfect husband to Florence Pugh’s unsettled housewife, and in the Amazon drama #MyPoliceman, he’s a gay man hiding his sexuality in the oppressive U.K. of the 1950s. latimes.com/entertainment-…

101st Light Anti-Aircraft and Anti-Tank Regiment (LAA& the Battle for France.

So this doesn't involve #Dunkirk or #Dynamo much... but it is WELL INTENSE. Grab a beer for this one.

*Also another forgotten Welsh unit... /1
#WW2 #SWW #History
60 (RWF) Anti-Tank Regiment was detached from 53rd Welsh Division on 13 October 1939 & sent to Aldershot to reform into 101 LAA & AT Regt (there's a mouthful), an experimental regiment within 1st Armoured Division.

In theory 60 AT Regt had four batteries... /2
each of three troops armed with four 2 Pounder anti-tank guns.

As was the case for the majority of TA units, new kit was slow to arrive and there were only a couple of examples on hand for training.

The 2 Pdr was a nifty piece of kit for 38-40. /3
