We might be going a bit deep now, but today I found out that Esme Langton's aunt, for her wedding in 1914, was gifted a cake stand by the Bishop of Uganda. Esme Langton, of course, being the woman whose bridesmaid Hester Leggatt was. #FindHester
During WWII, MI5 secretary Hester Leggatt wrote fake love letters to plant on a fake airman’s corpse in a bid to fool the Germans.
Little was known of her story, until Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical inspired fans known as #mincefluencers to #FindHester
#FindHester
Hesther went missing while on a walk with her owner at Ridgeway #S12 3YA #Sheffield #Derbyshire
She was wearing a collar with tag, she is timid, spayed & microchipped

Oh I just love that #findhester and #LeftLungvsRightLung are both blowing up at exactly the same time
I love #mincefluencer fandom are coming and going between #FindHester to #TeamRightLung / #TeamLeftLung all the time. They have super amazing community!
Genuinely outstanding, humbling, beautiful news. The team behind #FindHester have FOUND Hester. THE Hester.
“I don’t think that it’s people like you and me that the crowds come to see”.
How beautifully wrong/genius that line truly has turned out to be.
Actual representative history content on this feed? More likely than you think! It's been a real joy being a small part of the #FindHester team and seeing it all written up by Erin Edwards and in the new Operation Mincemeat brochures

Twitterstorm Sunday, let's get this precious doberman girl home
Please share and join us
I really hope we can get a Blue Plaque for Hester but if not(or maybe as well as!)it would be so lovely if we could get a Rose 🌹 named after her 🥺-a way to link the IRL Hester w/the musical one. Anyone know a horticulturist who could help?! #FindHester Operation Mincemeat SpitLip
It's something special when your research interests and personal ones are in joyful conversation. So incredibly proud of the whole #FindHester team. Hats off (on?) to SpitLip Jak Malone💅🏻😎 and Claire-Marie Hall (Claire Sterrett-Hall) for sharing Hester (and Jean!) with the world - everyone in the picture
Looks like Twitter is getting buggy. #mincefluencers and #findhester just a reminder that we have a discord. Even if you don’t use join it as a back up, I’d hate it for us to lose contact cos of eccentric assholes (Monty is the only one we put up with)
