Hjaco, you can see why they have female MPs in that camp !

Not sure of the details on this photo but liked the interesting pistols carried by the US soldiers. One has a british .38 and holster and the other has whay looks like a 'liberated' pistol of some kind, then I noticed the US type hanger on the holster, it might be a US leather revolver holster hanging from an M3 knife?

cheers,
