    1. One on the left, top picture just isnt playing the game is she?
    2. These two laddies dont seem to be the sharpest knives in the drawer
    3. I found some private pics taken by my wifes great grandfather today.... S'funny, when you think of women being press ganged into digging tank traps (or whatever) you think of peasants in thick padded winter clothing, not summer skirts and shoes...
    4. I thin the guy on the right did not (yet) have his EK2 mounted, and just bunched the long issue ribbon up and pinned it on.
    5. I am having a bit of trouble figuring out what this guy was...
    6. Here is one to one of the 70 Cape Colony men.... from a machine gun group.... http://www.kaiserscross.com/60401/41694.html if I am not mistaken, it is the only british campaign medal not awarded to any british units?
    7. I think it is politics... Ball flach halten... approve the medal, but not something immediately recognisable... and the population will think "business as usual" and forget about it and the polemic surrounding it ...

        Yesterday is gone; tomorrow never comes. Chase your dreams. Not a bad thought to have on your mind.

    9. ii2 IR having run its course.... the faker chooses a new unit....
    10. Hi, thats fantastic, thatnks, the description of Ornes is important for me as well!!! Will use it on the next site update. Merci Chris
    11. Hi, from what I can see the pinpack seems to be the Official one, along with a buttonhole ribbon, and the ones on the bars seem to be unofficial....
    12. Hear is the miners one.... I guess it all depends on what that thing in the left claw is....
    13. I think you nailed it. Bottom is inded "Jun 1917", and comparing the date and the unit I think it is a 7 (at first it looked like a "4" Best Chris
    14. This is interesting, found it in a pile of postcards... I have a "thing" for the 2nd Bavarian Division, and a "Thing" for Verdun... So a postcard to a 2nd B Div guy halfway through their Verdun Sejour is interesting indeed! From the 8th Komp, 15th b. IR
