I would not care to owe these gentlemen money, or anger them, or give them the impression that I was someone they didn't care for.
They look scruffy enough to be Australians (I have a deep and abiding respect for the Australians and their innate sense of equality and distate for any sort of "classist" bahaviour) but there's something about 'em screams "Merrill's Marauders". Were Aussies involved with that lot?
Alternately, this is a picture taken in Kentucky in 1949. Somewhere nearby there are several pigs, a body or two, and a pretty nice still. And Ezekiel there, the feller with the nice hat, got hisself a fair to middlin' car-been from the last Revenooer made the mistake of comin' up the holler without so much as a howd'ydoo...
now why would smelie want me to put this here?

Don't underestimate the Russian or Ukrainian girls. I know someone who lived on the Prairies and knew one who could lift a full oil drum off the ground and onto the tailgate of a truck. Anyone know what a full oil drum weighs?
All those centuries of pulling plows back in the Motherland.

Hello to all,
Anyone can guess where and when those pictures are from?
OK

I recently interviewed a former Halifax rear gunner, and later pilot, who survived a full tour of duty in 1943/44. While serving as a rear gunner his main effort was to watch for enemy night fighters and instruct the pilot when to take evasive action. He only fired his guns on one occasion after being engaged by an enemy fighter. Basically the idea was to avoid firing unless fired at because in doing so your tracer lit you up for any night fighter in the vicinity. He described his eyes aching from the effort to remain constantly vigilant throughout a night mission. His bomber went unscathed except for one time when it was hit by AA fire and he was wounded. He described the stress and fear levels as very high and remarked that he had watched a lot of young men grow old in a short period of time.
Oil drum full of what?
A full oil drum filled with liquid is closing in on 500 lbs. Doesn't sound too likely a story to me unless that drum was filled with feathers, or she looked like a muscled up rosie o donnel
