Investigations of a Dog

The September edition of the Military History Carnival is now up at Military History and Warfare. Thanks to Alex for doing a great job. Details of the October edition are still to be confirmed.

[Edit: the next edition will be at Chronologi Cogitationes on 20th October. Submissions can be e-mailed to blakemore_9 [at] hotmail [dot] com or use the submission form. Hosts for November onwards still needed.]

The new edition of the Military History Carnival is now up at Osprey Publishing blog. It’s a special Olympic themed edition – Mike has done an excellent job of putting it together.

Next month’s MHC will be hosted by Alex Clark at History of Warfare on the 14th September. You can e-mail submissions to alexanderclark999 [at] gmail [dot] com or use the submission form.

We also need hosts for October onwards.

And the latest early-modern edition of Carnivalesque is up at Early Modern Notes. From my experience of carnivals I’d guess that “more nominations than any other post” means about two nominations…

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.

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 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.
