I’m Too Sexy for My Master’s Thesis is a sentiment that most academic bloggers can relate to, I’m sure; but Rachel’s thesis topic sounds pretty sexy too, on the British Army’s Jewish Legion in the First World War. It’s very much a research blog, which is good to see. Cas Stavert of Only Two Rs is writing a novel set in the First World War, and also reading lots of early twentieth century British novels—which I’m finding very educational! (Via Great War Fiction.) Finally, Modern Mechanix extracts weird and wonderful articles and advertisements from old science magazines. Sadly they are all American, not British, but there is still much of interest to me. For example, check out this Italian gas mask for typists, or these early German and American radar devices. (Via Boing Boing.) air-minded, adj.
