Hi all!
Hi,
New here, Great forum, kudo's to all,
Occassionally I take myself to the ardennes to do a spot of camping in the woods and some battlefield visiting, not to mention the many great museums down there. A couple of years ago I read about the village of Manhay and decided to take a look and found some interesting things lying around the surrounding woods (many of the trees are still scarred with shrapnelmarks plus the place is littered with either foxholes or craters...). I've posted a couple of pics of unidentified items in the militaria section. Take a look?
Any ideas will be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Pumpupthebbq

Re: Hi all!
Welcome to the forum. I'm new as well. Can anyone help me on how to change my avatar to a different picture? It only gave me 4 pictures to choose from and I'm still getting the hang of things.

You were in the right spot. Go further down on the page, check "Use Custom Avatar" and navigate to the picture on a website or your computer that you want to use. Click Save Changes, then Save Changes again. It will tell you that the Upload Failed. Pay no attention to that message.

My thoughts exactly and that is 'The Great State of TEXAS'. Awesome name nevertheless. Welcome to the forum Pump.
