Kev in Deva

I took the liberty of highlighting the medal pics for some clarity. Kevin in Deva.

I CANT see my house in your picture Kevin in Deva.

Don't get me wrong guys but the blocks to the extreme right of the picture are the pits, the black windows are the ones that have been burnt buy what I will call "undesirables" or to remain "Politically Correct" an ethnic "minority". Not an area of the town I would feel comfortable in, particularly at night!! and not because I fear Vampires. Kevin in Deva.

And Number 3 showing the other end of the town. One more to come and you have seen Deva in all its glory Kevin in Deva

Well I did say it was a nice day for a walk, I live way, way, way, over there near the Citadel on the left side of the picture Kevin in Deva.

Dedication to the Front of the monument in Hungarian: Can anybody offer a translation please?? The back of the monument, the rear tablet is blank; EDIT: I have since learned, from an old Gentlemen that there used to be a representation of the Hungarian Eagle, with outstretched wings on the top of the monument, he claims it was there for over 40 years before it was "removed"! He is searching for some old documentation he had in connection with the monument and I will add the information as I get it. Kevin in Deva.

Hallo Gentlemen & Ladies Enjoying the warm late Autumn sunshine here in Deva I took a stroll over to the far side of the city. and having a nosy in side the small Catholic Cemetery located across the road from the "Trident" Supermarket, I spotted this just bushy overgrown object inside the gates: Upon closer inspection the following was reveled: Kevin in Deva.

Hallo Unna with the Bear Motif in the center I would say it has a BERLIN connection. Not sure if there is any connection but a Google search brings up: IAV GmbH, Ingenieurgesellschaft, Auto und Verkehr, Carnotstrasse 1, 10587 BERLIN, GERMANY. Phone: +49 30 39978-0, Fax: +49 30 39978-9790, E-mail: contact@iav.de Which seems to have some connection to Auto Engineering The Crown on the top reminds me of an Italian Design. Kevin in Deva.

I would imagine the letter "F" denotes the block / building and looking at the other side the number "14" denotes a Fire Alarm Point. Kevin in Deva.

Hallo Gents this buckle is up for sale and I have my eye on it, Seller supplied pictures! I am seeking opinions on it, the seller tells me the name of the maker is: " J.F.BLITZ " Any comments welcome. Kevin in Deva.

Congratulations to Bryan upon his new position in the GMIC, Kevin in Deva,

Hallo Iraqi Militaria, thanks for the answer to my question, the item in question, is the one at the top of the page in the first post, condition is very good. Kevin in Deva.

Hallo Gents BRENNER is German I believe for BURNER! I feel tynesideirish is correct about this piece being a lamp, possibly a parraffin lamp as petrol would be a very risky fuel due to the vapors. Kevin in Deva.

Hallo Gents one of the members of my local Hobby Club showed me this piece and I managed to get pictures. so as to look for information with what and when it was given, first off let me comment on the silver football I thought at first glance it had been added on (?) as the nut and bolt to the rear look totally out of place. The other objects depicted are crossed Kalashnikov's and a sword standing upright (handle and cross guard hidden behind the ball. Its about 3cm X 3cm in size. Opinions from the more knowledgeable welcome please. Kevin in Deva.

Hallo Graham. thats why I posted it here, as we share a wealth of knowledge amongst our members, instead of jumping to the conclusion they are totally wrong, unless its known before hand. Still as the person in question rates as a R.S.M. then it should be recorded somewhere. As would the the incident with regards lopping off of a unruly Allied pilot's hand Kevin in Deva.

The rear: Kevin in Deva.

Hallo Gents, Here are my two, and beauty is defiantly in the eye of the beholder!! Kevin in Deva.

Hallo Gents, recently on-line I came across this post: I emailed the poster for more info, particularly the RSM name, and he replied with the following: Pure Fantasy or any kernel of truth, I have never heard about this before, and you will also notice he also managed to avoid giving a name in his reply Kevin in Deva.

David Lee "Tex" Hill ® stands with Nadezhda Popova. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/rtrs/20071012/twl...-672dc0e_1.html Reuters - 2 hours 5 minutes ago SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - David Lee "Tex" Hill, who flew with the Flying Tigers in China during World War Two and was said to be the inspiration for John Wayne's character in a 1942 movie about the squadron, died at his San Antonio home on Thursday at the age of 92, his family said. He was a Naval aviator who in 1941 joined what was officially known as the American Volunteer Group, a mercenary squad recruited to help defend China against Japan. The Flying Tigers had a fearsome shark's mouth painted on the front of their single-engine fighter planes and gained much publicity for their success against the Japanese early in the war, when good news about the Allied forces was rare. The squadron, which was led by Gen. Claire Chennault, became part of the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1942. Hill was credited with downing 18 enemy planes, making him one of the top combat aces of the Pacific theatre. Wayne made "Flying Tigers" in 1942, but did not meet Hill until several years after the war. He told Hill he based his movie character on him, and they became lifelong friends. Hill was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and other decorations from the U.S., Chinese and British governments for his war service. The son of missionaries, Hill was born in Korea in 1915 and moved to Texas in 1921 when his father was appointed pastor at a San Antonio church. END OF ARTICLE. May He Rest In Peace. Kevin in Deva,
