Panzer III:
Panzer III was the common name of a medium tank that was developed in the 1930s by Germany and was used extensively in World War II. The official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen III (abbreviated PzKpfw III) translating as "armoured battle vehicle". It was intended to fight other armoured fighting vehicles and serve alongside the infantry-supporting Panzer IV. However, as the Germans faced the formidable T-34, stronger anti-tank guns were needed. Since the Panzer IV had a bigger turret ring, the role was reversed. The Panzer IV mounted the long barreled 7.5 cm KwK 40 gun and engaged in tank-to-tank battles. The Panzer III became obsolete in this role and for most purposes was supplanted by the Panzer IV. From 1942, the last version of Panzer III mounted the 7.5 cm KwK 37 L/24, better suited for infantry support. Production of the Panzer III ended in 1943. However, the Panzer III's capable chassis provided hulls for the Sturmgeschütz III until the end of the war.

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.
This was nearly 61 years ago. My Uncle Jimmie (known as Coastie) and his best buddies made it home from Italy. He was a postal service carrier for 6 years in Europe. He was never in the front line thank God. He had so many wonderful stories towards the end of his life about his European adventures. I just wish I'd had more time with him to hear other stories. Boy, you can imagine how good that Schlitz beer tasted. He was my best friend and my Mom's brother. He was a wonderful man. As I'm sure all his friends were too. God bless you Jimmie, and your friends also. He passed on about 6 years ago.
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 candid black-and-white portrait of Seimon Pugh-Jones sitting by a classic military Jeep. Taken at a classic vehicle show.
Shot on a Canon 70D with a 50mm lens, I aimed for a timeless feel by using monochrome, enhancing the textures and contrasts to bring out the details of the uniform, the netted helmet, and the rugged Jeep.
Seimon Pugh-Jones also operates a mobile museum, preserving history through immersive experiences. To learn more about the mobile museum, please visit their Crowdfunder page:
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.

Thanks to George and Peter for confirming it is a fine example of a Harley Davidson which is probably 75 years old.
