#OnThisDay, John Harris died in Frome in 1940. His wife, Alice Seeley Harris, had lived in #Frome as a teenager. Pictured is Frome in 1891.

They travelled to the #Congo as missionaries and discovered Belgian men committing crimes against humanity towards Congolese people, making them work as slaves to collect rubber. Horrified, Alice documented the atrocities by taking photos. This eventually helped spark change in the Congo.

For more on Alice, check out Unsung Women in #Somerset.

Publish Drive just sent me this. Is the EU really requiring authors to display their postal addresses and emails for the world to see?! And provide the name and contact info of someone inside the EU?!

On this day in 871, Alfred the Great became King of Wessex with his wife, Elswitha, by his side. They would undergo many upheavals, the lowest point being their wandering through the Somerset Levels when she was in her mid- to late twenties.

For more, check out Unsung Women in Somerset.

Pictured is the golden wyvern, associated with the House of Wessex.

Really enjoyed the exhibition on women in Somerset in WWII at the Rural Life Museum, Glastonbury. Useful for my research for On This Day in Somerset!
