I had to look twice at this pic - I thought it was Northern Ireland in the 1970s at first. The uniforms and equipment had altered little from that of WW2, when I first joined !

Patton had 2 of them- one is reported to be on display at the 3rd. Armored Div. Museum at Fort Knox, KY. I have spent a lifetime researching George Smith Patton Jr- and his family- "Patton- A Genius for War" by Carlo D'Este- and "War as I Knew It" by Patton himself- plus I had a great uncle who was a First Lt. in the same Calvary unit that Pershing sent into Mexico to nail "El Bandito- Pancho Villa"--and he told me many stories about Patton and their exploits--He also, as Officers in the US Army then bought their own sidearms, and all of them in Cavalry units preferred the Colt SA Army in .45Colt cal., over the "new" Colt 1911 in 45ACP--
 
Actually I would like to remind you guys that the thread is for posting pictures and discussing them. There is another thread for jokes and fun in another section.
thats a shame......the constant posting of photos of the handy work of the Nazi regime and their handmaidens is grim, and tiring...even the great Bill Mauldin brought humor into the foxhole with his cartoons....and I see poking fun at the enemy as a long military tradition.
