NEW THIS WEEK – MONDAY 6 SEPTEMBER 2010

Hi there and welcome once again to what’s new this week on Miliblog !

As mentioned, I went to a little antique fair in a village hall and came away with three nice photos which I want to share with you all. Firstly is a nice little photo of a group of REME soldiers of the British Army taken in Italy in July 1945. Studying their faces, they look like they had a long hard campaign and now totally relieved the war was over and they pulled through it.

 Next is a fine photo of a group of Royal Artillery gunners taken in the deserts of North Africa. MEF stands for Middle East Force.

 Our next photo is taken in Germany, probably in the late 1940′s. Spot the Bedford QL 3 Tonner on the right and the Willys MB jeep parked in front on the building. But what’s the vehicle parked next to it ?!!! Anyone know ?

 We featured a few warship photos recently as something a little different and they proved to be very popular from our emails. So below are a couple of Royal Navy Sandown Class Minehunters.

So have a great week and we’ll see you soon. Back by popular demand are some more photos added to our Eastern Front Collection.

Cheerio !
