Failing better at understanding the past
The 15th Military History Carnival is now up at Cardinal Wolsey’s Today In History. Alun has done an excellent job (and I didn’t even have to send in any extra submissions this time). The next edition will be at the Osprey Publishing blog on 18th August. E-mail submissions to blog at ospreypublishing dot com or use the submission form.
The 15th Military History Carnival will take place at Cardinal Wolsey’s Today In History on Saturday 14th June. Please e-mail submissions to alunadler at yahoo dot co dot uk or use the submission form. Posts on any of the following themes will be particularly welcome:

We also need a host for the July edition. If you’re interested in hosting please leave a comment here or e-mail me. If I don’t get a host for July I might do it myself, or I might just skip a month. Do you feel lucky punk?
This is the 14th Military History Carnival, with a special theme of Contested Boundaries. Today is also the day that Bloggers Unite encourages bloggers to write about human rights (hat tip: Mark Stoneman). I might post something on that theme later today if I have time (and I probably won’t have time), but this carnival edition gives plenty of attention to human rights issues.
The 14th Military History Carnival will be here next week on Thursday 15th May. We still need more submissions: you can submit your own posts or someone else’s, relating to the Contested Boundaries theme or anything else within MHC’s usual remit. Please e-mail submissions to fallon.young@4-lom.com or use the the submission form.
More details of the Contested Boundaries theme:
This can cover disputed territories and borders, which are a big part of many wars. It can also cover cultural boundaries. How does war complicate, question or shift the boundaries between races, genders, classes, and sexual orientations, between able and disabled, or between human and animal? Above all, how is the boundary between war and peace constructed and contested? Just use your imagination.
You can submit your own posts or posts written by someone else. If you feel inspired to write something on this theme, then go for it. Considering the number of submissions we normally get it’s unlikely that your post will be rejected unless it’s outside the scope of the carnival or fails to meet basic standards of factual accuracy. Submissions don’t have to be limited to the theme. As usual, anything about armed forces and conflicts in any part of the world is eligible. Only wars that happened after 1 January 2001 are excluded. See the Military History Carnival page for more details of the carnival’s aims and scope.
The next edition of the Military History Carnival will be here at Investigations of a Dog on Thursday 15th May. As always we need as many submissions as possible. To make it more interesting I’ve decided to give this edition a special theme: Contested Boundaries.

If this is a success there might be more themed editions in future.
The latest early-modern edition of the Carnivalesque blog carnival is now up at Walking The Berkshires. Tim has hosted editions of just about every history related carnival and as usual he’s done a fantastic job. There are loads of fascinating posts, but my favourite has to be the one about pissing dogs in the American Revolution.
The 13th MHC is now up at The Cannon’s Mouth. In this case 13 isn’t unlucky at all as Ken has done an excellent job.
The next edition will be coming home to Investigations of a Dog on 15th May. This is a special edition with a theme of Contested Boundaries. As well as territorial disputes, we’d like to see posts about how war complicates boundaries of race, class, gender, sexuality, species etc. Above all we want to question the boundary between peace and war. If you see anything on these themes, please submit it. Or you could even write something if you feel inspired.
Submissions don’t have to be on these themes – you can still submit posts about any aspect of military history, war and armed forces. The usual limits apply: posts mainly about wars that happened after 1 January 2001 are not eligible.
E-mail submissions to fallon.young@4-lom.com or use the the submission form.
And we still need hosts for June and July – I’m not doing it two months in a row! If you’d like to try hosting please get in touch.
The next MHC will be at The Cannon’s Mouth on Thursday 17th April. E-mail submissions to militaryhistorian at gmail dot com or use the submission form. Anything vaguely related to wars and armed forces before 1 January 2001 can be included.
Then we need more hosts, especially for May. I’m thinking of hosting another one myself later in the year, but preferably not May as I have too much writing to do. If you have a blog (it doesn’t have to be about military history) and you’re interested in giving it a go please get in touch.
The 12th Military History Carnival is now up at Thoughts On Military History. Thanks to Ross for doing a great job.
The 13th edition will be hosted by Ken Reynolds at The Cannon’s Mouth on 17th April. E-mail submissions to military historian at gmail dot com or use the submission form.
We need hosts for May, June and July, so if you’d like to give it a go please get in touch. You don’t have to be an academic or a military historian, as long as you have a blog and are interested.
