One of the things that I brought back from Iraq, 2004/5

I took this out of the drivers hatch in a knocked out BMP or BRDM, I don't recall which. There was a graveyard of destroyed Iraqi vehicles in Taji we'd pick through for a souviner sometimes. If you can't tell, it's a periscope, for driving with hatch locked. Nothing special, just junk I brought home.

Thanks for sharing it with us and thanks for your service. I came home from my job one time and saw a beat up cardboard box on my front steps. Here my buddy, an officer in a combat engineer unit with the 1st Cav in Iraq thew a bunch of Iraqi souvenirs in and shipped it to me for my collection. I still have the souvenirs but, like an idiot, threw out the box. I love original WW2 souvenirs still in the shipping container so don’t know what I was thinking.

Very cool!  I brought home a similar periscope, though mine is apparently U.S.   I took it out of a destroyed BMP just north of Kuwait City.
