In 1969-70 I was in an armored cavalry regiment, and when our equipment was badly damaged or destroyed it was termed "a combat loss".? Presumably a 1917-8 report of survey similarly accounted for this?tracked vehicle.? An identification of the remains and any details of its unit and dem...
Looking for something else a Google search turned up a first hand account of his units escape to Vladivostock via the Trans Siberian railway (courtesy of the Czech Legion) by a member of a Belgian armoured car squadron. It appears they had to destroy their cars first but doesn't say what they were nor w...

Has anyone else who visited blueprintbox.com (thread in the references section) had trouble with their cookies? I normally have my cookie policy set to 'reject all', but have to alter this to access certain things, such as signing in to this forum; afterwards I tend to clear out all cookies, but even...
Have been trying to place this Mk V. The A7V is obviously a replica. But the camo on the Mk V is annoyingly familiar. It's not the much-discussed blue/green/whatever. It looks much later than WWI - I could swear I've seen it before, somewhere. The stripey effect rings a bell. The tank looks in very good n...
I'm out in Gallipoli for the week and yesterday found these 4 huge French guns lying in Fields - 3 of 4 have been spiked, can anyone ID them? One I went up to was dated 1885
I noticed that certain soldier's uniforms, such as WW1 German chaplains, have hats that look akin to American cowboy hats.? On a tour of Colorado decades ago, the guide told us that American cowboy hats were shaped for the purposes of horse riding.? Not only sun protection, but branch protection if y...

Here is a link to a useful site, the photo I've attached shows a CWS built FT with pressed plate track. Centurian has previously posted this photo ? Edit 05/05/12 - thanks?Rectalgia http://derela.republika.pl/en/ft17.htm -- Edited by LincolnTanker on Saturday 5th of May 2012 09:47:10 AM
A Chinese police armored?car in Tianjin(Tientsin), shown by an old Chinese magazine "Sheng Huo Xing Qi Kan"(Life Weekly). I don't know why but I think this armored car looks like a WWI European armored car and doesn't have the common shape of Chinese armored cars in 1920s and 1930s. Any id...
Hi all.?? I finished my Male model tank and needed another project, so now I am proceding with a Whippet. I am attempting to build at 1/16th scale and keep as posible to the drawings but I don't think this will happen as I am building on an old 1/16 model chassis.? Here are a couple of ohotos of the build.
On the missinglynx.com WW I section it has some pictures of armored cars at Vladivostok 1918-19. One of them No.3 is an Armstrong Whitworth in pic 4,6,8 &12. The others i can't ID two are numbered 1 and 2 so I guess they are part of the same unit. On the great war forums eastern front section they have r...

? Found the attached on the old Tanks! website. A US Mark IV SPG - looks like a St Chamond SPG with the US 240mm howitzer fitted. According to the text the gun vehicle had its own motor/generator that could move it around at low speed on good ground. Apparently tested at Aberdeen in 1920/21. Anyone know an...
