A rusty old Audi army vehicle at the war vehicle hoarders in Belgium.
A large collection of army vehicles bought by a private collector and left to rot in fields and forests of Belgium.
I don't think I have ever seen anything like this Audi - it may have been some kind off army staff transport?

After World War III, the remnants of GI Joe encounter machines in the ruins. No one is sure where they're coming from, or what they're doing.
The Reaction Terminator figure seemed like a great fit for my post apocalypse pics, it's just too bad it doesn't have more articulation. It does bring a good vibe though.
It was more popular with the people than with the arbiters of architectural style.
The war memorial in Glebe's Foley Park, designed by a prominent anti-conscriptionist, was decried by the architectural magazine Building as ''appalling'' before its unveiling in 1922.
The magazine was even more scathing in 1929, saying the memorial ''appears as if it has been composed of discarded pieces found on the premises of a monumental mason''.
''Truly there are worse things than war when such horrible things as this can be perpetrated in times of peace,'' it sniffed.
But the memorial has since been recognised as a unique tribute to those killed in the First World War.
''There's no other one quite like it in Australia,'' local historian Max Solling said, adding that the architect who designed it, alderman William Martin, was ''a rabid anti-conscriptionist''.
The granite and marble mausoleum was inspired by the shape of an Egyptian temple and incorporates Christian and classical imagery. Unusually, the memorial features busts of a soldier and a sailor.
Of the 794 Glebe men who enlisted, one fifth did not make it home. A marble plate bears the names of the 174 Glebe residents who died, including Australian fast bowler Albert ''Tibby'' Cotter. He was killed in 1917 while serving as a mounted stretcher bearer and buried at Beersheba.
Mr Solling, who leads services at the memorial on Anzac Day, helped raise community funds to restore the memorial 20 years ago after vandals decapitated its guardian angel and graffitied the nameplate. Leaking water had damaged the interior and a homeless woman regularly bunked down inside.
Now the City of Sydney has undertaken another restoration, as part of a program to conserve historic war monuments before the centenary of the outbreak of war on July 28, 1914. Replacement busts for the Glebe memorial were hand carved from Italian marble and its angel is once more intact.
The city will carry out conservation work on eight other memorials, as well as the Cenotaph in Martin Place and the Archibald Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park, before the services to mark the centenary.

The Korean War memorial is located near the Lincoln Memorial and the reflecting pool.
The following is from the National Park Service web page.
From 1950 to 1953 the United States joined with United Nations forces in Korea to take a stand against what was deemed a threat to democratic nations worldwide. At war’s end, a million and a half American veterans returned to a peacetime world of families, homes and jobs- and to a country reluctant to view the Korean War as something to memorialize. But to the men and women who served, the Korean War could never become a forgotten war.
The passing of four decades had brought a new perspective to the war and its aftermath. The time had come, in the eyes of the nation, to set aside a place of remembrance for the people who served in this hard-fought war half a world away. The Korean War Veterans Memorial honors those Americans who answered the call, those who worked and fought under the most trying of circumstances, and those who gave their lives for the cause of freedom.
A War Half a World Away
Only five years had passed since the end of World War II when the United States once again found itself embroiled in a major international conflict. In the early morning hours of June 25, 1950, the communist government of North Korea launched an attack into South Korea. Determined to support the world’s imperiled democracies, the United States immediately sent troops from Japan to join those already stationed in Korea; the fought with other nations under the U.N. flag. What was envisioned as a short, decisive campaign became a prolonger, bitter, frustrating fight that threatened to explode beyond Korean borders. For three years the fighting raged. In 1953, an uneasy peace returned by means of a negotiated settlement that established a new boundary near the original one at the 38th parallel.
One-and-a-half million American men and women, a true cross-section of the nation’s populace, struggled side by side during the conflict. They served as soldiers, chaplains, nurses, clerks and in a host of other combat and support roles. Many risked their lives in extraordinary acts of heroism. Of these, 131 received the Medal of Honor, the nation’s most esteemed tribute to combat bravery.
Establishment and Dedication
On October 28, 1986, Congress authorized the American Battle Monuments Commission to establish a memorial in Washington, D.C., to honor members of the U.S. armed forces who served in the Korean War. President Ronald Reagan appointed the Korean War Veterans Memorial Advisory Board to recommend a site and design and to raise construction funds. Ground was broken in November 1993. Frank Gaylord was chosen as the principal sculptor of the statues, and Louis Nelson was selected to create the mural of etched faces on the wall. President Bill Clinton and Kim Young Sam, president of the Republic of Korea, dedicated the memorial on July 27, 1995, the 42nd anniversary of the armistice that ended the war.
In October 2016, President Barack Obama signed the Korean War Veterans Memorial Wall of Remembrance Act (Public Law 114-2340), authorize the addition of the names of the fallen to the memorial. Construction of the Wall of Remembrance began in March 2021 and will be dedicated on July 27, 2022, the 69th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice Day.
A Place for Reflection
Viewed from above, the memorial is a circle intersected by a triangle. Visitors approaching the memorial come first to the triangular Field of Service. Here, a group of 19 stainless-steel statues, crated by World War II veteran Frank Gaylord, depicts a squad on patrol and evokes the experience of American ground troops in Korea. Strips of granite and scrubby juniper bushes suggest the rugged Korean terrain, while windblown ponchos recall the harsh weather. This symbolic patrol brings together members of the US Air Force, Army, Marines and Navy; the men are portrayed from a variety of ethnic backgrounds.
A granite curb on the north side of the statues lists the 22 countries of the United Nations that sent troops or gave medical support in defense of South Korea. On the south side is a black granite wall. Its polished surface mirrors the statues, intermingling the reflected images with the faces etched into the granite. The etched mural is based on actual photographs of unidentified American soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines. The faces represent all those who provided support for the ground troops. Together these images reflect the determination of the U.S. forces and the countless ways in which Americans answered their country’s call to duty.
The adjacent Wall of Remembrance and Pool of Remembrance, encircled by a grove of trees, provides a quiet setting. The wall includes the names of 36,574 American servicemen and more than 7,200 members of the Korean Augmentation to the United States Army who gave their lives defending the people of South Korea. Numbers of those killed, wounded, missing in action, and held prisoner of war are etched in stone nearby. Opposite this counting of the war’s toll, another granite wall bears a message inlaid in silver: Freedom is Not Free.

Winter Scene
It had been a long hard winter. The snow had fallen early in the autumn and the mid thaw during the winter had barely happened.
On the main land the winter had given both sides in the war a break and the usual opportunity to call for reinforcements. The king had called on his nobles to send more archers and knights in the spring, with the Earl of Léonas in command of the army.
With spring coming the Earl needed to have his horses ready. The winter supplies were running low, so the Earl had his knights dig the snow in the fields by the river Tigelfáh, outside his castle providing fresh grazing for his destriers. With Earl, like each knight, having four destriers there was a lot of digging.
As for one of the knights, Gregory, he always thought outside the box and had taken himself of to the frozen river, with his theory that if they could get to the water it would help. His fellow knights were not convinced…..
