I have an uncle who was a marine during ww2 who fought in the pacific. This is a Japanese flag that he brought home, it has a few names written on it from some of the men that he served with. The names on the flag are:
Charles F Blanbo from Washington DC ( I think that's what the last name is, its kinda fuzzy)
Harold L Bachelor from Portland Oregon
Wm Roberts from Brookville Indiana
Frank Trusky from Akron Ohio
James E. Day from Huntsville Alaska
Douglas P. Searbrough from Monterey Tennessee
Harlan Bunnilk from Rockford Minnesota
John L. England from Jacksonville Texas
and my uncle Charles Fortney
I'm still trying to get more information like the unit he was in and if my uncle can remember where he got the flag from. He gave this to me about 25 or 30 years ago, it's been at my parents house till I asked them to send it to me.

Looking back 75 Years WW2. Normandy, France.
D-Day, June 6, 1944. WW2.
The Mulberry Harbour was built for D-Day in June 1944. The Mulberry Harbour’s purpose was to ease and speed up the unloading process so that Allied troops were supplied as they advanced across France after breaking out from Normandy. The success of D-Day could only be maintained if the advancing troops were supplied and more men landed. The Mulberry Harbour was one of the greatest engineering feats of World War Two.
Here are some of my new Japanese soldiers, including: Ghillie Sniper, Sgt. or a high rank soldier, a regular soldier, and a messed up pilot. I hope you guys enjoy!
A friend and I were at Bunker Bash 2009, the annual military rally at the former Government bunker at Kelvedon Hatch, near Brentwood in Essex. We had been undecided about going so arrived late and not in the best of weather.
We found an enthusiatic bunch of re-enactors and military vehicles owners covering both World Wars. One part of the site had been laid out as mock entrenchments with various national groups including British, US, German, Soviet and even Serbian forces dug-in.

Ppl be getting their TMC orders while I am here probs gonna take a month to reach HK ;-;
Inspired by the one and only Phima', the reason I ever started posting on here in the first place. I doubt you'll ever see this but if you do, cheers.
As for the build itself, I've been meaning to build myself an updated Jeep for quite some time now, and by quite some time I mean just a wee bit under 4 years, haha. Now that I've finally gone and built one, I'm pretty darn happy with it. The front bar isn't perfect so I'll probably try a minor redesign in the next few days, as well as taking some pictures of it without the canvas top. I've come up with a neat little Browning design as well that I'd like to implement.
As always, c&c is welcome.
PS check out my YouTube Channel if you're into that kind o' stuff. Channel name Carpet Lego, you can find links in the picture I posted earlier.
Thanks!
