    Troops Christmas photos?

    I'm sure this is not the right spot so mods, feel free to move if necessary.
    Just wondering if anybody had photos of our troops in the past,
    Doing their best to celebrate Christmas a long way from home and probably not in the most desirable/hospitable conditions.

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    While not a "troop" photo....this fits the theme....here is a homemade Christmas card my grandfather sent to my dad (who was 4) from Okinawa in 1945. It is a manila folder with colored pencil. My grandfathers service was one of the reasons I enlisted at 19.....
    Happy Holidays.
