I bought this one a while back. I am currently looking for a nice frame to hang this one up next to my favorite Russian propaganda poster.

Not real sure about it’s history, but I found what seems to be a Hitler youth pennant on a small black flag, double sided. The flag itself is about 9 3/4" in length. Also, how do I upload a photo haha. Sorry, not much of a computer whiz and I don’t see an attachment button here, I’m on my cellphone ..

Hi Guys,

Tom’s still working on his "Cosmoline" sword photos so I thought I’d start a separate thread for his other sword which I’ll refer to as the "Yard Sale" sword. As you all know taking blade pics isn’t easy so I’ll start with two of the nakago and when others come available will add to the thread for him.

Anyone able to assist with translation till then, please and thank you?

Regards,
Stu

I am putting the finishing touches to a restoration of my AB trailer and have marked it with the white 117 on black square to denote the 181 A/L Field Ambulance. Not least because this unit also came here to Oslo after VE day and set up a hospital to treat ex POWs and slave labourers.
What I am wondering is whether RAMC trailers had any form of Red Cross markings to signify their use and maybe also to spare these and their contents from direct attack and destruction.
So far I have not been able to find any photos or direct references even though reading several books on Arnhem and trawling the web for photos.

Or maybe even, the 101 A/L Fld Amb might not have had their own trailers only jeeps ?

Also, it seems to me from other photos that the AB trailers generally at Arnhem did not show the white allied star ?

Any advice gratefully received.
