US National Guard heritage paintings... (1 Viewer)

Here is a site from the National Guard Bureau;

http://www.ngb.army.mil/resources/photo_gallery/heritage/gal.htm

This is a gallery of painting that have been done over the years to commemorate the history of America's citizen-soldiers. In the gallery, click on a painting and it will be displayed along with historical notes and a link to download a larger copy.

With the wide variety of interests on this Forum I thought that somebody might be interested. My favorites are "Cornrow to Hedgerow" as it shows the Nebraska National Guard's 134th Infantry Regiment in action and the "Battle of Mortain" as I want to do a display of a 57mm AT gun in action. I had a concept and when I saw the painting I realized that it's like what I want to create.

Enjoy,

Gary B.

The hedgerow painting is one of my favorites of Keith's work in the series.
The shame of it is, that while I was working for Conte we could have done that as a set, but there wasn't any interest in it at the time.
