The two medic photos that have yet to arrived, finally arrived today and my scanner went into the bin and I don't think a photo would help. One has already been interpreted anyway. Ed

Thanks Claudius....it is a bit of a bummer though, shooting through glass with a mirror on the other side.

Eric, ole buddy, pal, peezo, pard....post a photo of this tornister you seek, so I can show my lady friends to go shopping for me. (Why does Eric have smilies and I don't?)

Thanks Chip, If I acquire it I'll post the writings on the rear so to maybe give away the unit. Most that I can make out is the post mark is Witten???????. Can't find a date anywhere and it's address to a gal in Flensburg. Half the Post Mark is missing. Ed

Thanks gentlemen.................Chip, when you're ready for one of those stands, I'll pass on the maker and Eric, I understand that would be for a MG08?

Thanks Andreas................

I agree and include the quality.

Thanks......does that maker have a quality rating among EK makers?

Me wonders if they are wearing a Prussian or Wurttembug waffenrock? Looks grey and Prussian.

If I ever decide to sell out Joe, I'll let you know. Ed

Here are copies of the two that has gone lost................ Don't have a copy of the second one on file and I'm too tired today to go to my Ebay Acct and make one. I wish my lady friends would go home after 2am!!!!!

Same here, from the uniform cut, I was wondering if a state could be identified? The back of the card reveals nothing, not even the feldpost, it's a civilian post office mark.

unfortunately not....... I've started searching for a possible replacement.

What pertinent info can someone tell me about these two dudes? Ed

Thanks Kornel.............

Except for the original photos that have not arrived yet, they were sent from Germany on Nov 15, my Sanitats display is finished. I might have to start looking for a replacement photo. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_12_2013/post-16240-0-09669400-1386693835.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_12_2013/post-16240-0-56631000-1386693922.jpg

Greetings!!!! Today I received this rack. I have posted closer photos of the DRK medal hopefully to better translate the inscription. The back is marked Weimer. I've still not been able to put a date on this award. I have found where it's been dated as an 1915 award.This is what I would like to have confirmed in writing. Thanks all............... http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_12_2013/post-16240-0-60519800-1386691715.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_12_2013/post-16240-0-66808500-1386691794.jpg

When I retired, WAC had been disbanded for seven years, reverting females to the branch they served and were still clerks, medical and cooks. As a Drill for six years, six months were in AIT, Cooks School at FT Wood. I happen to receive during that time the first three females assigned as cooks. That was my only experience with females under me.....officially!!!!! ;)

I was referring to: http://www.military.com/daily-news/2013/12/06/first-3-female-soldiers-join-hood-artillery-unit.html

Don't know if you are aware of the three females who just this week was assigned to a US field artillery unit as artillerymen (artillerypeople now)

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Brian.............much appreciated. An 'inspiration' though is humbling and if what I do helps others, I'm happy. Collections should be seen not hidden, IMO but, I completely understand that's not always possible either not having the space or not given the space and I've been in the latter position before and after awhile I got the space when she vacated it upon my demand!!!!! It's also how collections are displayed that is 75% of the presentation. Doesn't matter what a person collects, it's the presentation that excels that collection. As any ex-military would understand, everything has a place and everything in it's place and....the most important military terminology, "Attention to Detail'. I like sharing info, ideas; etc, and if sometime I show becomes an idea for others, great, I do the same all the time. If I see something that will improve something that I have, I borrow the idea, I don't steal it because I always give credit to whomever/wherever. In this hobby, info should be shared, ideas should be shared and it should be done in a way that everyone feels good giving or accepting. Info can be disputed, ideas can be discarded but the exchange is there and that is what counts. I don't get jealous or envious of what others have, I wish I could be the one that has something another person has but that's natural. Especially if it's a MG unit marked sawtooth bayonet that matches a Luger markings you have.......... and you hope you live longer than he does and that you're in his Will. I'm not the smartest brain on the block but it's great to know where you can go to get the info you seek. I get that here, if not, I'd move on and....I have yet to come across any Prima Dona's here. That's very important to me. Cheers........... Thanks again Ed

Food for thought.....I can build a bigger house if you all find that your need more room!!!!! ;)

I bow to so many masters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAMN, Chris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A perfect example why I said, "my small collection" and that was surely an understatement.
