Too cool

Thanks for the review. I’ll need to put the book on my reading list. It just so happens I just cracked this book, Bloody Mohawk, by Richard Berleth. It’s an interesting subject for me since i spent my first 24 years in Utica, NY. Utica is near the western end of the Mohawk River. The house I grew up in is less than a mile from the river. The road at the bottom of my hill is on the route General Herkimer and his Tryon County Militia marched to the Battle of Oriskany. The whole area is dripping history of the French and Indian War and The Revolution. Sadly I’m only 20 pages in and am a little discouraged by the writing. It seems he is one of those authors that assumes the reader already knows all about the subject and makes frequent references to related people, places and events without explaining them. So the reader (me) either has to stop once or twice a page to look things up, or ignore the comments. Very annoying.  mikie

Philippine Division, 1922     Standing collars with gilt interwar discs       Anyone recognize the Regimental Insignia circa 1922?     Philippine photography studio watermark     Open collar, grommeted shirt, but gilt discs are on lapels with unknown DUI    

Is anyone familiar with the nwc swimmer booby traps used in Vietnam?

This is quite similar to yours. My pack is empty as well and I'm okay with that.     I'm not sure what your other harness is. This is a fighter pilot seat setup, yet I still can't make yours out.     Here is an earlier QAC(Quick Attach Chest) harness for bomber crews. Sadly, I don't have the "red" pack for this one.     This is one seat chute you don't want!!!  Can't do anything with it!     Dave

Just coming across this interesting post. Very odd! It does appear to have a Robert Capa stamp... I'm guessing it was applied mistakenly since this is certainly not one of his known WWII images. What an oddity! Furthermore, it's a bit strange that a reverse image search doesn't come up with many published examples. Just the ones mentioned above. Typically, most circulated WWII press shots will have multiple hits. Best of luck with your research!

Three buttons on the back with two pockets. I have a unused set somewhere.

Was sent  a page by page digital photo copy of my Ft Benning Graduation Yearbook by a member of the same company I was in, in Jan 80-Apr 80, got together on FB;s  Fort Benning Georgia Home of the Infantry.   So am now able to post that portrait  of Major Nicolini  I mentioned earlier. See just goes by Alex at this time.

Very nice find well done, I was at Kings Cliff the other day having a look around.
