Eric K. Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 (edited) Pickedd this up today and was pleasently surprised when I actually brought it home and looked thru the entire album,There's alot of family shots but it gets very interesting. theres aprox. 200 pictures all crystal cler ( my camera skills is my way of "watermarking" ) anyways it starts out with 2 brothers at a young age,one of them is cross eyed so it's very easy to identify him throughout the album.I won't/can't post all of the good ones but I'll post a few. There's HJ skiing lessons, tinnies being worn,vehicles,HJ sports and marksman badges being worn and tons of other cool stuff.even a celebrity look alike!!!!!I'll start off with the two brothers at easter( our cross eyed friend and his girly looking brother) Edited August 4, 2007 by Eric K. Title changed as requested.
Eric K. Posted August 4, 2007 Author Posted August 4, 2007 Looks like a very nice Christmas!! even by today's standards
Eric K. Posted August 4, 2007 Author Posted August 4, 2007 A school field trip to a very familiar monument
Eric K. Posted August 4, 2007 Author Posted August 4, 2007 The pictures start getting ominous, notice the tinnies being worn, They're a little blurry in the actual photo so it's hard to tell what they are, it would be nice since then I could date the photo's.
Eric K. Posted August 4, 2007 Author Posted August 4, 2007 Like I said the actual photo's are crystal clear, my photo's...not so much
Eric K. Posted August 4, 2007 Author Posted August 4, 2007 Dad's home from the front. He's not wearing anything in this picture but the other shot's of him He's wearing the KVK in the buttonhole, and EK2(WW1),honourcross and Eastern front on his ribbon bar.
Eric K. Posted August 4, 2007 Author Posted August 4, 2007 We'll fast forward a few years, Looks like he's doing OK in the HJ.
Eric K. Posted August 4, 2007 Author Posted August 4, 2007 (edited) His brother has the same pins as the last pic... but in this one He's wearing his marksmanship badge. Edited August 4, 2007 by Eric K.
Eric K. Posted August 4, 2007 Author Posted August 4, 2007 I don't even know why I'm posting this one, it's terrible
Eric K. Posted August 4, 2007 Author Posted August 4, 2007 Not sure who these guys are.Is that a U.S. Jeep I see?
Eric K. Posted August 4, 2007 Author Posted August 4, 2007 (edited) It seems ole' crossed eye's is hanging out with Ben Affleck You can barely see it but He's wearing a black wound badge. Edited August 4, 2007 by Eric K.

BURGERHAUS Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Nice What badges are they wearing in post 11? Mr. Afleck was probably there working on a peace deal. HA HA Or, most likely, looking around for a suitable replacement for Jaylo. Thanks for posting. Have a nice weekend. Robert

Guest Rick Research Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 I think that's at least one of the brothers in coveralls in the jeep picture, so must have made it through the war and was working at a U.S. motor pool.Man, you need an Epson scanner soooooooo bad. PS Is your camera stuck in 2003?
