Hello! First I must say to MR Andrey from Murmansk , that is digging and doing so much research of military history, keep on your work very impressive, and in very beatiful nature.

My Grandfather fought in the finnish regiment JR 24 , he was stationed on the karelian front close to Viborg. He survived.

Here are his medals , soldiersbook and photos.

Best U

Hello everybody I am new to this forum can anybody tell me if the British used the South African mk11 helmet in North Africa, I have been told that the free French used them, but I am sure I have seen somewhere that some British units had them but I can’t confirm it.

I would like to share with you some pics I took in the years while going metaldetecting. For me it's just not finding stuff but also to be completely in harmony with the nature and the beauty of the places. It is a regenerating experience.
I hope you'll like them

Hello,

I´ve got this buckle and I believe it´s one from the Weimar era, but I´m not sure. What is your opinions about this buckle?

Best,
Sascha

Guys,

This is the second one of these I have found.

My pal says these are rare, maybe not!

It is for the 10 liter Spreng Buchse 37. It held 4 of these bounding mines used to deliver chemical agent.

So never used, just like French rifles (joking before a Frenchman shows me how its done) double joke)!

Jock:)
