Russia

If this is the first time that you have come across the LornaLPodcast journal, you may like to read the short summary of the Platform to Platform project. 

As part of this work we are currently posting photographs of places that Lorna Lloyd mentioned in her Diary of the war (previously blipped in the the LornaL journal). The photographs are supplied by blippers from across the world to h.hall@napier.ac.uk to create a crowd/blip-sourced album. The full list of places that remain to be included in this journal is given below. We'd love it if you could contribute to the project!

Munroist4113 sent us this picture of Lake Baikal to represent Russia (in general). Thank you Munroist4113 for your latest contribution. Lorna references Russia several times in her war diary. Listen out for the mentions in our podcast series.

Here is the wish list. We still have a lot of places to collect, so all help from blippers worldwide is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
