illinigander Posted March 25, 2018 Share #1 Posted March 25, 2018 I wonder if anyone could provide me with a photo of a WW1 field desk? I am helping to do a French "75" display for the MVPA convention, and wonder if I could use my early WW2 desk instead. It would be a minor "backdrop" space filler. Thanks in advance. Illinigander.

Bluehawk Posted March 26, 2018 Share #4 Posted March 26, 2018 Beautiful desk! Never have seen even a photo of one this vintage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illinigander Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted March 26, 2018 Thank you aznation for the wonderful photos. Very interesting; as I wondered there seems to have been little change in their looks between wars. I will proceed with my project.

I guess it's one of those rare instances where they followed the saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it.". Good luck with your project! Take care.

illinigander Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share #8 Posted April 1, 2018 Yes Lsparks, a French tube on a Willis Overland carriage. Was fired live at a cannon shoot several weeks ago in TN. Great piece, belongs to a friend. Illinigander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illinigander Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share #10 Posted April 5, 2018 Lsparks- Alas I do not know how to post photos. If I had an e-mail address I could perhaps send several photos of it shooting. This was a first-time shoot held in Pelham (yes the CW artillerist),TN. Mostly CW guns firing, but a great time. Illinigander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluehawk Posted April 5, 2018 Share #11 Posted April 5, 2018 Lsparks- Alas I do not know how to post photos....

illinigander Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share #12 Posted April 9, 2018 Bluehawk- The photos I have are on e-mail or on my wife's I-pad. How does one go from these? Regards, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Ken In addition to what Lucas suggests, I simply send photos to my own email address from iPhone. Then I hot link (i.e. "drag") the picture from the email I sent myself, onto my desktop where it then appears as an icon (so to speak). Then, I can resize it using our USMF resizer link, and copy/paste it on any post or thread. Is that helpful? It may seem a little primitive, but it works, every time.
