Jerry and RK, I too love these period photos, they always capture my attention in WW1 / 2 books. Seeing how gear is actually worn, the wondering who was KIA, POW etc., is a interesting and horrifying subject.

In Belgium in Houffalize, Belgium, there is a Tiger tank, went off of the road, so it was abandoned, now it is in a small pedestal at the beginning of the town. Always makes me wonder about the crew. There are period photos of the area and the tank in the ditch upside down. Very interesting, there are lots of museums through the Belgium countryside, one was in a small town with lots of captured and found items from the offensive and the war. Lugers, P38â??s, Thompsonâ??s, yes, I just love the small museums.
