Ignore a lot of the text, it is from a newspaper where facts, spelling and punctuation seem to be in short supply. The photo's are great though!! Also I would ignore the 'Warning graphic content' warning as It isn't particularly.

Great pictures and a brilliant job coloring them. All sorts of uniform and equipment info to be gleaned from the pics. Thanks for posting. -- Al

Hah, yet another able member humbled by his inability to edit a typo in the thread title. One of these days, one of us is gonna inadvertently fat-finger a genuine obscenity into the subject line. Subsequently, it may well be hours before the forum poopahs spring into action and move decisively to deliver the broader membership from the bitter fruit of a somewhat cavalier approach to a computer keyboard. :redface2: I can hardly wait!

Done it so many times myself Pete. There should be a forum function for correcting titles.

Love the photo's - thanks! Be great if John could do a set of Poilu's sitting around with their packs on the floor and their rifles stacked together as in one of the featured photo's.

Cheers,

Roy

Hi,
This photo begs to be considered for future releases I think:



Looks similar to the Street scene that Roy has!
