This is a reprint of People I have Shot by James Jarché.
The original 1934 edition is very expensive second-hand, this modern photoproduced reprint is much cheaper. The text is clear but the photographs are very poor quality. Happily, there aren't very many in the book😳
I ordered it from India.

From The Start Of The Salvation Army In Croydon - Rev. Dr. J. N. Morris
we read that "Croydon was the first mission station he established on something like permanent lines outside Central London" . the original name being the Christian Mission, as one reads on the portico. The first one founded by General Booth was in the East End of London.
This mission church was built in 1872-1873, following a series of meetings held in George Street, Croydon by Mrs Booth. The Salvation army holds minutes of these early days of the movement in Croydon. The building continued to be used as a Christian Mission until 1879, after which it became the Salvation Army.
According to Dr Morris, "The ceremony of laying the foundation stone took place on 8th October. It took a further year to wipe out the remaining debt on the building fund. Gospel Hall was a modest, brick-built chapel in classical Nonconformist tabernacle style, a rectangular building, with a triangular portico above the entrance.
The Croydon Mission thus "had a pivotal role in the growth of the Salvation Army outside Central London.
The building cost £725 to build, which was the equivalent of 7 years' rent, so a good investment. The movement engendered considerable hostility in the 1870s, at indoor and outdoor meetings.
Morris concludes..."In 1887 the Salvation Army moved from there to a new Citadel built on a site in Elis David Road; the old building, sold off, had a chequered history as a cinema and car repair shop, amongst other uses. Hopes that it could be restored as a museum for the Army have floundered on the high estimated cost, and its future remains uncertain. but makes no mention of the use of the Gospel Hall by the Brotherhood Church of J. Bruce Wallace and J. Kenworthy, the precursor of Tolstoyan settlements in Purleigh Essex and Whiteway in Gloucestershire. Indeed Tolstoy's amanuensis, Vladimir Chertkoff and his biographer Aylmer Maude both initially lived at Duppas Hill, Croydon on arriving in Britain from Russia (Maude being in business in Moscow).
Renovation of the former Salvation Army chapel at no 46 Tamworth Road, Croydon in 2000. Over100 years previously, this building was home to the debating church called the Croydon Brotherhood which would have been attended by, among others, Tolstoy's amanuensis, Vladimir Chertkov whilst in exile and Tolstoy's biographer, Aylmer Maude, who also landed here en route to the subsequent nucleus of Tolstoyans in Essex.. Other members included the famous Charing Cross Road anarchist bookseller, Frank Henderson,who later lived at Downham in Essex and Fred Muggeridge, a relative of Malcolm. Its pastor was the Reverend John Colman Kenworthy who had journed to Russia to meet the great author at Yasnaya Polyana ( Ясная Поляна). and followed the Croydon Tolstoyan splinter group of this church to their first land colony at Cock Clarks near Purleigh in Essex, where a house was built for him. Nelly Shaw's book "Whiteway - a Colony on the Cotswolds" describes the scene in this building in the 1890s. A Tolstoyan Brotherhood hotel was run along co-operative and vegetarian lines at nearby Waddon in the late 1890s and early 1900s , and it still stands today as the Waddon Hotel in an odd sort of Swiss/German Villa style.

An Abramss M1A1 Tank advances to its objective during rehearsals for Exercise Chong Ju.
Mid Caption:
The roar of the venerable RAAF F-111 was heard in the Goulburn valley for one of the last times this week (12-13 May 10).
Two of the Amberley- based aircraft supported the Army’s firepower and manoeuvre demonstration at Puckapunyal Military Area, called EXERCISE CHONG JU.
EX CHONG JU is named after a series of offensive actions by the 3rd Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR) on 29 October 1950 against North Koreans, during which infantry company advances were supported by US Army tanks and artillery.
Artillery from 53 Independent Battery fired 105mm rounds in support of the biannual exercise. The battery usually supports courses run by the School of Artillery.
53 Independent Battery was the only Australian battery to bring its guns to bear against the Japanese during the Battle of Kokoda in 1942.
Besides the effect of artillery and aircraft, EX CHONG JU demonstrated M1A1 Abrams tanks, M113AS4 armoured personnel carriers (APCs), ASLAV and the Javelin Medium Defensive Fire Support Weapon. All of these weapon systems are available to an Australian combat team when it employs synchronised arms effects.
From a dense treeline, tanks and armoured personnel carriers (APCs) advanced to their target, called Objective Spike.
The M113AS4 is an updated APC, and features improved armour and cross country capability that allows it to keep up with the M1A1 Tank.
The assaulting force made short work of is objective, and clearly demonstrated the potency of the modern Australian combat team.
EX CHONG JU is a training activity for the Combat Officer Advanced Course, which trains combat arms officers on combined arms tactics.
The new Puma IFV is seen during the official handover ceremony of the tank to the German armed forces, the Bundeswehr, in Unterluess on June 24, 2015 near Uelzen, Germany. The Puma is produced by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) and Rheinmetall-Landsysteme (RLS) and is the successor to the Marder light tank. Critics highlight the tank's weight (over 30 tons) and high cost of over EUR 8 million a piece. The Bundeswehr is scheduled to purchase 350 Pumas.

The German military lost more soldiers in this region due to fights and attacks than at any other place since the end of World War II. After years of fighting, the district is relatively stable now. But as international combat troops prepare to leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014, many Afghans in Chahar Darrah fear the return of the Taliban.

My bowl of melted army dudes. I used the heat gun/piece-by-piece method I first saw on Make Projects
makeprojects.com/Project/Army-Guy-Bowl/1338/1
I'm using a glass bowl as the mold instead of a stainless steel one because I couldn't find a stainless bowl at the thrift store. The glass gets a bit hot and you have to stop and let it cool a couple of times but otherwise works fine and the plastic doesn't want to stick to it.
This bowl is available in my Etsy Shop:

British soldiers from the 13th Air Assault Support Regiment prepare their trucks prior to an operation to deliver supplies to several British Army Forward Operating bases (FOB) in Helmand Province on July 15, 2008 at their base in Camp Bastion in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. The 13th Air Assault Support Regiment provides logistic support to the multi-national force in Helmand Province. The British drivers navigate hostile desert terrain to deliver combat supplies, ammunitions, food, water and engineering equipment. During a recent operation, drivers spent 48 hours avoiding enemy forces, mine fields and indirect fire. On return to Camp Bastion, vehicles are serviced immediately for further operations leaving little recreational time for the British soldiers who work in heat reaching 54 degrees celcius and drive on terrain without recognizable roads.
