Rakkasan187 Posted January 2, 2017 Share #5 Posted January 2, 2017 Very impressive.. Sometimes I tend to forget the other conflicts since there is so much out there on WW2 and forward.. It is nice to step back in time and see equipment from Pre- WW1.. Excellent photos.. Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
