Bienvenue Laurent, always good to this American to see people from other countries. If you do not mind my asking, roughly what part of France are...
Welcome to this fine forum. You certainly have a strong military pedigree and look forward to seeing you around. Gaines
Patrick, welcome to the forum. I fully agree the Dutch not only remember our soldiers buried there but are truly hospital people in all aspects of...
The only image I find equal to the words of Flanders Field is this one by John Singer Sargent in the Imperial War Museum. [IMG]
An interesting question. Many of the participants produced fine quality instruments. The Italians certainly excelled in strings, the French,...
CAC, some of the memorials certainly have that Romanesque grotesque quality, sort of clunky awkwardness that often shows mass and power....
It indicates they were US copies. I only opened one up, had to return with tools, and it definitely had German markings. Wish I have looked into...
Takao, where on earth did you find those images!!!!! I clearly remember the bunker, the ramp was more intact and the "missiles" more evident. That...

I am not well enough informed about the current state of the Russian Navy but it seems to be recovering a bit from the Soviet collapse. They...
Best wishes for your mission work. I have no doubt you will succeed in an exemplary fashion. Character always shows as it has with your time...
A great story, Ron, made better because it is from one who was there. I was lucky that my dad bought one Army surplus from an Airbase in Alabama...

"A different, refreshing approach to the First World War", (They shall not grow old....) JJ, I listened to a NPR story about the making of this.....
My apologies, I did not write clearly. My wonder was if the planes themselves ( the assembly planes) had been retired from combat service due to...
