Haunting imagery of two #WW1 Royal Navy wrecks has been captured by divers working with @OrkneyMuseums to help historians better understand the tragedies.
Nearly 1600 people died when HMS Hampshire sank and HMS Vanguard blew up in Orkney.

RT @PLinDenmark: On #11November 1918 the #WW1 ended and Poland 🇵🇱 regained its independence.

Together with our friends, allies and Polish diaspora on 5 Nov. at Mindelunden, we paid a tribute to the heroes that fought for our freedom.

Long live Poland! Niech żyje Polska! 🇵🇱

This week the @irish_guards received their new Queen’s Colour, a flag that embodies the honour and heritage of a regiment and lists its battle honours.

#DYK that several of those stem from battles in Belgium such as Ypres and Mons during #WW1 and Neerpelt during #WW2?
