But who knows where or when?
Tom Y replied to Tom Y's topic in Great Britain: Research, Documentation & History
That's all for him. And ooover we go.

Here's a series of photos, obviously staged, of an altercation somewhere in the mountains. The British uniforms seem to be WWII vintage, the others anytime from the Crusades to today. Wait til you see the whites of their eyes. Look out behind you!

Who and When?
Tom Y replied to Mike Dunn's topic in Great Britain: Research, Documentation & History
The armbands are apparently a sign of POW's. In my post Kriegsgefangene you can see them on the Belgian prisoners. -
The sidearms in #2 appear to be bayonets, either the M1866 or M1886/93/16.
-
A group of Belgian POW's doing roadwork, more or less, while being guarded, more or less, by 3 rather inept looking grunts while the brass and their drivers take a much needed break.

A blaues Blut hobnobbing with a democratic fellow named Mack Oh, tempora, oh mores!
-
That was my guess.

Zoom in further and the man on the right near the top of the pyramid has what appears to be a folding rule in his belt. Who the heck are they?
-
as you zoom in you have to revise the date.

At first glance this looks like a standard WWI group photo but...

The Kokarden don't look like they're the black and red of Württemburg. More like the cornflower blue and white of Bavaria or green and white of Saxony.

EK 1914 The 1914 Eks with blued core
Tom Y replied to Motorhead's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
It's my understanding that the star mark is Austrian to denote base metal to be replaced by precious metal after the war. Could these all be Austrian made? -
I believe the collar tabs are Freikorps, but don't know what rank. Obviously high :rolleyes:

Try Abebooks

This may be a little bit , but many years ago I had a badge from Oz with a kangaroo leaping over a clear plexiglas(?) boomerang. It seems to me it had 2 rings on the back for a "cotter pin" type attachment. Anyone recognize it?
-
I wonder who sent that e-mail Great uniform. What's in the holster?
-
If the flag has one star surrounded by a cluster of smaller ones it's Burmese. Can't tell from the scan. Nin Haj is Chinese for the month of May. Have no idea how that relates. The leather backing makes me think it's from/for a flight jacket.

Considering the Hindu link it could be a tribute to Ganesha, the elephant headed god, remover of obstacles. An enemy could definitely be considered an obstacle.

The most polite definition is a chicken. By extension a rather slow witted person, a wally. I'm assuming Mick means the former ;)

Just got this little gem yesterday from Porschestadt. Not Godet, but still a spiffy little Cross. The core seems to be baked enamel. with a nice clear MM. Dunno whose mark it is, but for some strange reason I don't think it's Hofbrauhaus :lol:

I guess I can fit this in here, since he's wearing a 70/71KDM. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_08_2009/post-252-124915722149.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_08_2009/post-252-124915743254.jpg Any idea what this guy's ill-fitting uniform is? From the top hat my guess would be carriage driver or postillion. No rabbit, so that leaves out court magician :D

With big bro.

From Württemberg.

I have a3 and a 7, both appearing to be wartime or early postwar issue. I doubt that yours could be a partial R Here are 2 R's, both horizontal and vertical. The horizontal, let's call it the lazy R, would have to be turned 180 degrees to match your mark.
