Vehicles are always interesting to see as is personal field gear.

I particularly enjoy when there are captions to go with the photo, describing the event in which it was taken and naming the brave young men with the rifles when possible.

I always like pictures where soldiers are actually showing the strain of combat and keep hold of their faithful rifle. As the only friend to be always relied upon...

Turkey,
Denmark etc..., DCM and
CMP thru to modern collecting and competition use.
Sign me up for an autographed copy!
My thoughts were
By year 1941, 1942 etc. not sure how big either 50 photos maybe - would need to go to national archives to source unpublished images
