He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
There's some fine hardware there...
Regards, Jim
Definitely a fine display of goodies!
Thanks MARK.
Where's the Thompson and Grease gun?
"You are what you do when it counts."
the sub machine guns are inside the tank

Is that my old M-41 Walker Bulldog? The sponson boxes look like it, but my memory is shot
Real men measure once and cut.

Years ago, I can recall taking to some US Army Korean War veterans' about Thompson sub machine guns in Korea. They told me that only some of the US tanks still
had Thompsons early in the war. The Chinese also had them from WW2
The tank is question in the Life picture looks like a M47 Patton with the 90mm barrel. Of interest were the M1's. One with an M7 grenade launcher, and the M1C (?)above it. I question the sniper designation only because the picture doesn't clearly show the top part of the G&H rings.
