Picture of the day

War dog...

That dog is a sergeant, at least, with that grizzled 1000 yard stare.

Yeah. He looks like he's "seen it all". Bringing first aid to the needy. And he's good at cleaning up any mess that may've been left behind...

("Hey! Fegg off, Pooch! I'm only wounded! Quit nipping at me!!!")

Those are some good pics boys. Buddy lighting a ciggy of that flame thrower a few pages back was hilarious.

Speaking of Japanese soldiers and WW2...

"Well, lads, let's have a talk. And if I like what I hear, I won't let these gentlemen eat you..."

Supposedly Japanese soldiers called the Allied coas####chers (from the New Guinea area) 'green ghosts'. Mainly because these people knew the bush like the back of their hand. They were able to ambush Japanese troop columns at will and liquidate Japanese soldiers on a one by one basis, very quietly, often without the troop column realizing what was happening. Of course this might have been propaganda to use against the Japanese.

Good to see that someone was smart enough to take the issue of a proper shovel seriously.

He must have been heading to the other place - looks like a coal shovel!

And a spare clip on the sling. Camo? Not so much.

Seeing that airborne Jeep brought this thought to mind: "Oh, my aching a$$!".

Having ridden around in such a Jeep for a decade, I can vouch for the lack of padding in the 'rumble seat'. The driver and co-pilot have a better chance of not pounding their tail bones up to waist level.

Yup; they were a two person vehicle

Just showing they could replace the old school Horse Artillery in the upcoming Steeple Chase events.

I always wondered what a flying column was.
