The remains of a water treatment facility at the site of Camp Murphy. The United States Army Signal Corps built this top-secret radar training school in 1942. Not much remains of the 1,000 buildings used to house and train over 6,000 officers and soldiers.
The 165mm is just as much fun to shoot as the 105mm. Heavier, of course, but at 5 1/2+ lbs anyway, who's counting a few extra ounces.

Here's a full view of my collection so far.
Postcard of a scene of members of the public and U.S. military service individuals standing around outside of the USO Club in Rockingham, NC, during World War II. The club was located in the Rockingham Community Building. The postcard was sent with a message from David Matthews of Los Angeles, California, to his young son Raymond Matthews, in September 1944. David worked for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios during WWII, and was filming around the Rockingham, NC, area at the time for an unidentified film (1944).

This unit contained a very large air compressor and multiple heavy duty tools including: chain saw, Jack hammer, drills and more. Very useful as a portable tool bed for war time maintenance.

A WWII soldier got a second chance this time. The bullet almost exited this hardwood tree and is still there 66 years later. The tree has since died though. This bullet was fired downhill from a Japanese fortified cave near the cliffs of Marpi in Saipan.
