Plugstreet

This is the blog of the Plugstreet archaeological project in Belgium. This is a Great War themed project exploring sites around Comines-Warneton and Messines. 2007 sees the first fieldwork in Belgium, and builds on investigations in the UK. The project is being led by members of No Man’s Land - The European Group for Great War Archaeology and the Comines-Warneton Historical Society. The blog will include dig diaries written by various members of the team.

Philosophy of History is an insanely thorough site with essays on ancient history, military history, and calendars, but the main draw is a historical overview of the rulers of every (and I mean every) civilization.

WebOps is a weekly report linking to military history news and articles published in mainstream online media. Excerpts are taken exactly as they are on the noted source websites; quotation marks are not used. The hyperlinks are added by me as I can find them. Please visit the Armchair Forums to discuss the topics in WebOps. If you just can’t wait until Sunday for the next WebOps, plug yourself into the new del.icio.us Armchair General WebOps feed and get each link as its posted!

Stay Alert, Stay Alive!
