Thank you for your time.

Some of these are just very good all around war films. Several cover, different theaters or views of war as well as interesting/rare weapons and equipment not normally seen in US/western war films.   Many of the great classics have already been posted and I’ll probably repeat a couple here. From all versions of all quiet on the Western front to Battleground, The Best Years of Their Lives, 12 0’Clock High, Patton, etc., etc..   (Some GOOD ) INTERNATIONAL WAR FILMS  +  Panfilov’s 28 men April 9th *9th company,  *siege of Jadotville (Netflix) *Danger Close Generation War (German mini series) *84 Charlie Mopic The Bombardment/ shadow in my eyes The Forgotten Battle  Nr.24 Winter war Breaker Morant The Lighthorse Men Master & Commander *Downfall  *Das Boot  *Kilo Two Bravo *Battle of Long Tan  1944 ( SS / Russian Estonian made) Unknown Soldier ( Finland) *The Outpost  12 Strong Generation kill The Pacific Band of Brothers   Pans labyrinth (fantasy/Spanish Civil War)   Being a huge Stanley Kubrick fan I’ll mention again Full Metal Jacket, and Paths of Glory. Dr. Strangelove (classic! Battle footage us troops trying to retake Air Force Base filmed documentary style.)   Though a sci-fi film Children of Men besides being an excellent film has some of the most authentic urban battle scenes ever filmed.    Sorry for being so long-winded.

Band of Brothers is one on my favorite WWII "movies".  When I first watched it, I saw a close up of a cut down M1 used in boot camp in 1942, when they should have been using either the Model of 1905, or the "new"  M1905/42....certainly not any version of the M1.    I had not seen the WT M1bayonet with the Greek number markings.  That's a great catch.  It's fun to find these gems of incongruities.    There was a long form series a few years back. I think it was called "The World Wars"  The mistake I found there was absolutely laughable.  It shows a young Hitler during WWI admiring a 1903 Springfield which was bad enough, but it also had a 1905 bayonet with a FIBERGLASS scabbard!

Thank you!  

Note the Far East characters and the words national decoration on the bottom of the base bar on the last picture.  Interesting.  

I think a similar was just sold for around $275.

As an incentive and reward for their service, the U.S. federal government granted bounty land to soldiers who fought in the Mexican-American War.  They could get 160 acres, and I suspect the reason the we are seeing a number of 2nd Missouri Cavalry guys, is one of them got land in Yolo County, and then his friends followed.     It would be interesting to see where the land these guys got is...there isn't much in much of Yolo County even today.

I'm putting together a shadow box on a guy who served in the Navy during WW2. Based on the document below, can someone provide an image of the sleeve patch I should look for? Thanks!
