I’ve never seen a handwritten capture  certificate like that.  Very interesting!

Does this cartridge belt look familiar to anyone? I have tried to identify the belt: country of origin, manufacturer, army, production date? up till now no luck. It seems to be based on the old M1923 model. Colour OD7, with snap buttons. Inside the marking KOH-I-NOR is visible. No other stamps or markings. KOH-I-NOR is a Czeck company, in business since 1902.   This belt looks different. Maybe eastern european army surplus?  Maybe not even army related?    If anyone  knows this specific belt please let me know. thanks for looking.    Best regards

I do not. Perhaps @Ranger-1972 or @Jamecharles does

No, they're not. 😊   They are scheduled monuments now and although most are buried in the dunes and access is not allowed (they are bat sanctuaries), they are still there. Source: I live a 10 min analog bicycle ride away from Scheveningen.   Apart from the already mentioned Haagse Bunkerploeg there are several books (in Dutch) on the subject of bunkers in/around The Hague, which was a designated 'fortress' in the Atlantic Wall, complete with (interior) photos, plans etc.    

Here is a listing from Major War Supply Contracts  for Allith-Prouty, Inc., of Danville, Illinois. One of the contracts, dated 6/44 - 10/44, is for Packboard Attachments:     I think the contract serial number is actually "5492" followed by a code or symbol.        Allith-Prouty factory, trapezoid shaped building at bottom of image, date unknown.      To date, I haven't seen an Allith-Prouty Packboard Attachment.  

Carentan it is indeed, a quick peek on Google Streetview confirms the buildings haven't changed that much but I'll leave it to you to do a comparison photo 🙂           I had exactly the same, a Cloudflare block for 8 or 9 days so I guess it was a geo-location issue? Anyway, happy it was solved!    

Very nice find.   I would be thrilled.

Very interesting site, thank you for that treat.

. Servicing the Jeep . . . . . . . . .   I don't have any garage lift to raise the Jeep for servicing,  but as I am still currently fit and able to do so,  I lay underneath the Jeep for servicing the gearbox, transfer case and greasing the grease nipples etc, I generally work outdoors on the grass and use this board I made some years ago to lay on. It's about five feet by three feet and half-inch thick.  And if it ain't broke don't fix it,  just grease it  !!!!!!     Norman D. Landing, Forum Normandy Correspondent, 03 July  2O26.   ..    

. Hi Yokota,   Well the photo of all the women on board that Jeep takes me back to 1976 when I was on a large convoy of WWII vehicles, I was participating with my then girlfriend Derrie.   I drove Derrie and myself down into the local village in my Jeep from our final campsite of the trip,  we sat on the terrace outside a restaurant for a meal and drinks, slowly we were joined by other friends that had walked down into town.  At the end of the evening there were thirteen people and I had the only Jeep, everyone climbed aboard and we headed bak to the campsite in the dark through the country lanes.  We were all young, adventurous and laughing, I pulled the hand throttle out on the dash to regulate the speed and stood on the seat with the wheel trapped between my knees and arms outstretched either side, we arrived safely back at the campsite and I have to finish the story there, as more fun and games occurred on the campsite which are best left undivulged.  Ask me when we are sat having a beer one night !!!!     Norman D.
