patches Posted November 5, 2019 #251 Posted November 5, 2019 I had this book on the Panzerwaffe long time ago, a photo in it showed a Panther Crew, in Russia I suppose, sleeping under the tank, one of them looked like me
Allan H. Posted December 30, 2019 #252 Posted December 30, 2019 First, I'll say that it is obvious that the woman in the photo is NOT a man and thus, doesn't really fit the category, but I would imagine that it is tough to find a lot of military women who resemble celebrities! When I saw this WWII Signal Corps photo of an Army Nurse in Normandy, I was struck by how much I though that she looks like Sandra Bullock. So, I'll let you all decide. Allan

BILL THE PATCH Posted January 12, 2020 #255 Posted January 12, 2020 Hmm, that it'll work too. Keitel and Lewis. Try a shot of Lewis playing butcher bill from gangs of NY, it really looks like him. Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk

aerialbridge Posted January 12, 2020 #257 Posted January 12, 2020 Raymond Massey. Canadian Army veteran(Lt) of WW1 wounded in 1916, Battle of Mont Sorrel. WW2. Wounded as a major and discharged in '43. Do not know the officer pictured. Well done in IDing that great character actor from the Golden Age of Hollywood, Raymond Massey, and thanks for noting his distinguished WWI service. Here is the bio of the officer pictured, Commodore Donald W. "Schlitz" Loomis, USN, of Miwaukee. During WWI he was an ensign aboard the USS San Diego (ex-California) when she was sunk off Long Island after hitting a U-Boat laid mine, the only USN capital ship lost during the war. In 1926-27 he was the real life "Ensign Bordelles" in that he was the X.O. of the gunboat USS Palos of the Yangtze Patrol, the gunboat at Changsha south of Tungting lake (the homeport of fictional "USS San Pablo") that actually evacuated the US consul and other US citizens in April 1927 following the Nanking Incident of March 1927, which was the catalyst in the novel and movie "The Sand Pebbles" for San Pablo's rescue mission to the "China Light Mission" at Paoshan on the Chien River off Tungting (Dongting) Lake.

Bodes Posted February 26, 2020 #259 Posted February 26, 2020 This guy kinda looks likes Elvismy wife doesnt think so. She's right, looks more like Sal Mineo....Bodes http://www.gstatic.com/tv/thumb/persons/80710/80710_v9_ba.jpg
patches Posted March 13, 2020 #261 Posted March 13, 2020 Henry Jones and this Officer, probably a retired officer? Looks like a good resemblance.
world war I nerd Posted March 30, 2020 Author #262 Posted March 30, 2020 I've been sitting on this look-a-like for a couple of months now, but couldn't find the time to resize the images and post them. Today's the day though. Anyway, I think I found a WW I era soldier who's visage somewhat resembles that of Jim Neighbors, aka Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. Now somebody needs to find a Frank Sutton, aka Sergeant Carter look-a-like.
Bodes Posted March 31, 2020 #263 Posted March 31, 2020 Reminds me more of Larry Fine from the Three Stooges.....Bodes
world war I nerd Posted March 31, 2020 Author #264 Posted March 31, 2020 Naw ... Close, but no cigar. I'm sticking with Jim Neighbors.
world war I nerd Posted March 31, 2020 Author #265 Posted March 31, 2020 Hold on, I posted Larry Fine with the wrong photo ... WW I era soldier and Larry Fine, take two.
aerialbridge Posted April 2, 2020 #266 Posted April 2, 2020 Well, goll-ly, that's a dead-ringer for Gomer. Shazam.
world war I nerd Posted April 17, 2020 Author #267 Posted April 17, 2020 The facial features of this soldier's tinted face stationed at Field Hospital No. 4 in the Philippine Islands circa 1917, almost don't fail to look like those of the facial features that belong to the lead singer of Maroon 5, aka Adam Levine.
patrick_usmc Posted June 28, 2020 #268 Posted June 28, 2020 Captain George Smathers of VMB-413 has always looked like Bill Murray to me.

world war I nerd Posted August 18, 2020 Author #271 Posted August 18, 2020 Jimmy Kimmel and unidentified 7th Division WW I Doughboy
jmd62 Posted August 19, 2020 #273 Posted August 19, 2020 Dang, amazing likeness to Kimmel! I have a feeling the soldier had more stones than Jimmy.. ;D
