BEAST Posted November 29, 2013 Share #1 Posted November 29, 2013 This photo is from a collection of photos that I have taken by a KW vet. I haven't seen many Korean War selections here in the Spoils of War forum, so I thought I'd post a period photo of captured equipment. According to the caption on the back, this photo was taken at Camp Drake, Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmike Posted November 29, 2013 Share #2 Posted November 29, 2013 That be one big humpin' mortar; hate to be on the incoming side. My cousin was a Marine mortarman in the KW. I used to have some pics of him with his mortar squad, but they got lost over time, and he has passed on. Good pic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badash5946 Posted December 3, 2013 Share #5 Posted December 3, 2013 Thanks guys! If you have any KW "spoils" to post, please do! Okay, I'll bite. Here's a Russian TT-33 pistol, captured from a NK officer and presented by the Chief of Staff, ROK Air Force, to General Curtis LeMay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
