Well, I am happy to say that any day (any week if customs is slow) will be releasing Volume II at Simpson's LTD (my publisher).
In Vol II it covers the following stories in 206 pages, with many hi rez pictures and I must say I am very pleased with how it turned out
It turned out so well because so many members of this board and a few other boards shared verifiable Vet Bring Back guns and equipment.
Specifically stories on;
Germany 42 (and occupied countries)
Japan 30 stories, but not counting filler pages provided by myself and Mr Rhodes which is probably 6 or 7 pages of period pictures
USA 5 stories
Vietnam, this was the big surprise to me and pleased me greatly, 22 stories, mainly by two collectors, but several others
"other" which was things like a Nagant, Dutch 1922 etc
So, I have 15 stories so far for vol III; if you have any items from your family, please send me an email at
ed_tinker@hotmail.com and we can talk, I need some verification (to keep as real as possible), high resolution pictures of the item {3 or 4 max} of guns, equipment; and a picture of your friend or relative in uniform if possible.
Thank you my friends for helping share these stories!
