On @newsofthewar.bsky.social, we've revelled in stories that aren't well known, 1939-45. We were keen to do a VC-special. But when @andyaitch.bsky.social realised he'd got unseen film of Ian Liddell VC - that was something else.

Here it is. The found footage of Ian Liddell VC.
As far as I know this footage has NEVER been seen publicly before.
Filmed on the 7/4/45, 4 days after the action on the bridge, and 2 weeks before he was killed.
He was called the officer that never lost his temper, I think you can see that here.
