Hello everyone! We’ve seen the threads for impression photos, but I’d like to see your favorite all time photos. Wether they look super authentic or if they’re just neat, I think it’d be cool to have some show and tell. I’ll start us off: 

1: Patrolling at dusk 

2: R&R, playing some blackjack for Francs

Here are mine. I do Seabee and Marine Corps for my WWII impressions. These are only navy.

That second one looks like a still from a movie!

My friend is a wizard at photography!

Here's a couple more good ones

My grandpa played trumpet in the Seabees navy band.

We did the battle of Hürtgen Forest from Sep 19, 1944 – Feb 10, 1945.

Hello everyone!

   I thought I’d post some pics of me in Washington DC at the WW2 Memorial Dedication week, back in 2006 I believe. Please pardon the quality of the pics. 
BTW, I even got to meek Tony Curtiss at the National Press Club USO breakfast before going to the White House.

I also am a member of the WW2 Polish Military Living History Group. I know it isn’t an American impression, but it is fascinating to me and something you don’t ever see. We portray the Polish 10th Dragoons (1st Armored ), Polish 1st Independent Parachute Brigade, Polish Air Force, and some others. Here are some pics. Btw, the first pic was taken at the Polish Ambassador’s residence in Washington DC.

My apologies in advance for taking license, but I had to share these two.  For the many with an interest in World War Two, specifically the obscure Axis... I'll let the photographs speak for themselves.  The second, obviously "farb", makes a mockery of the dignity of the first.  Nonetheless, it was good for a laugh.

 

Again, thanks and lauds for your patience and tolerance.

I need to scan some of my photos of the early days of reenacting - the 70’s! 
I’ll try to dig my photos out and scan some of them.

This is one of my favorites because someone caught us just having fun at Reading. 230CF497-94CB-4203-B620-4B94C91B8CB3.jpeg.22d8b9d07b978d00091b0b95d32452b3.jpeg

Here’s some more of mine. We share the day with a colonial fest, so we had a redcoat hop in our Stuart, making for a great photo.
