The Yashica 270 auto focus from 1991

Re: Blue Book 6/31st December 1969 Vietnam

One thing that occurs to me is the attempt at humor with the written quips under the photos....."damn right we are going to say grace" under a photo of a group at a mess table. This was done at a battalion level of a Division that only had one brigade left and the highest ranking man with ...

Re: Artillery Regiment revolver WWI ....German

Re: One image cartoons

According to a facebook page April is Scottish American Ancestry Month. Guess England doesn't have such a day.....or do they? It would be a bit much to have a Scottish citizens resident in England Ancestry Month probably. It would be a little like somebody living in Florida having an Alabamian Ances...

Re: THE FIRST WORLD WAR as reported in the daily news
