There are some gems in there, among which my new desktop background. And there's more to come.

Oh no not more pictures! I'm still working my way through the Russian ones from the other thread in my available time!

Haha thanks for sharing

That picture looks familiar. I'm currently reading The Second World War: A Complete History, there are some great pictures in there, this one included. British troops in North Africa, I believe.

I belive that they are New Zealand or Australian troops.

Hey, Swedish Mauser in Finnish hands!

Yup, Australian troops in North-Africa.

This picture struck me as I have a SMLE with the P07 long bayonet (/C\ marked!) and a Webley revolver.

I stand corrected. I posted that before actually checking out the site. Commonwealth anyway.
