Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mackenzie%E2%80%93Papineau_Battalion:
The Mackenzie–Papineau Battalion or Mac-Paps were a battalion of Canadians who fought as part of the XV International Brigade on the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s. Except for France, no other country had a greater proportion of its population volunteer in Spain as did Canada. The XV International Brigade, made up also of volunteer battalions from the United States and Britain, was involved in the Battle of Jarama, in which nine Canadians are known to have been killed.
Because the Canadian government passed legislation prohibiting citizens from participating in a foreign war, surviving veterans were not recognized in national military institutions or history. Since the late 20th century, three monuments have been installed in Canada that commemorate this battalion, including one commissioned by the government that was installed in Ottawa in 2001. The names of all the known volunteers are listed there.
This was my Dad's, SSG James E Foreman, Unit Crest/Coat of Arms for when he was with the "Big Red 1" VII Corp 1st Infantry Division, Company A of the 298th Combat Engineer Combat Battalion.
My Dad went in on Omaha Beach, later he fought in the Battle of the Bulge and in the Ardennes, plus he went in to relieve the 101st Airborne at Bastogne.
After a lifetime of observing the creatures that live by the sea, there is no doubt in my mind that to a certain degree at least, the health of the beachside ecosystem has Soldier Crabs as one barometer. These hard shelled, blue crabs, the size of a big marble swam about in large choreographed numbers and a prodigious diggers. If disturbed they will dig into the sand in a second or two. This was only a fraction of the number that were plying about on the sand at North Bribie Island on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.
In large numbers and if it's quiet you can actually hear them marching!
Here's the link. I have been fascinated since I was a young child.
Two Afghan National Army soldiers rest atop a berm at Observation Post Huskars in Helmand province, Jan. 14. The Marines and sailors of Alpha and Weapons Companies, 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment and attachments from 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion, have moved deeper into Helmand province in order to limit the Taliban’s control over the area, by having a more prominent coalition force presence in the region.
Before the battalion arrived, we were sent in as usual to soften up the resistance. Same thing here on Kardoa as with every other kriffing Separatist stronghold. Cut off from any escape route once our positions were found, sprinting between inadequate bits of cover... yeah. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it, you know, for our commanders to suffer so many casualties by putting us out there... but then I see the havoc we cause before our battalion even arrives, and I'm proud to risk it all every time.
The blaster effect was achieved with my phone's flashlight, covered by a trans-green piece of plastic and limited by a small hole poked in construction paper.
Monument in the grounds of the Utah State Capitol Building in Salt Lake City, Utah.
This monument commemorates the sacrifices made by 500 Mormon pioneer volunteers who joined the U.S. Army during the Mexican-American War. The 100-foot rose pink granite and bronze monument was sculpted by Gilbert Riswold and dedicated in 1927. Figures appear on all sides of the monument, chronicling different periods of the Battalion’s history: the Enlistment, the March, the Discovery of Gold in California, and the Arrival of the Pueblo Detachment at the Capitol.

Three of the features in the Blackcap Basin section of the western John Muir Wilderness have military names: Battalion, Regiment, Division. This is Battalion Peak (12,323'). Below its steep flanks, Battalion Lake sits out of view from here.

Well guys, the next generation of WWII shooters is here. A group of video game designers have started a KickStarter project in hopes of making a NextGen WWII shooter for a new generation. Currently as of this post, they have raised nearly 300,000 dollars of their 142,000 goal, with 20 days left! I am very excited as this will be available for PC, Xbox one, and PlayStation 4.
I'm just hoping that with these extra funds, they do some Italian Front battles and some RSI troops! :D
So go support today!
"My squad's at half strength and my brain feels like it's been toasted, if anything we should be rotated back to Kamino not back out into the field. Command said it was because we proved to be resistant to the spear's affects, but only me and Lucky were on Cularin the other five troopers under my command are fresh recruits, transfers from the 501st. If we do end up encountering that blasted spear again there's no way it'll end well..."

So I completely copied Justin Pyne for the helmet, but I really like how it looks and my original attempt at stickers failed miserably with the stickers sticking to everything but the trooper and every attempt to properly cut the stickers failing, but hey next time.
I'm still working on the build which might be up tomorrow or might be up next weekend who knows?
Also a reminder for the gents in the 253rd, make sure you post your squads!

This is Part one of a possible series of 5 I hope to finish from our seaweed day. Stephen uploaded a fantastic image last week www.flickr.com/photos/stephencairns/12043511013/ so I tried to pick a different angle and mood to start with.
With the new enemy rising, Australia has taken it to themselves and a few allies to take them down. Artillery and armor are being sent in battalions to be used against the enemy, Russia.
