NEW THIS WEEK – MONDAY 27 SEPTEMBER 2010

Hi and welcome to this weeks newsletter and after the cold or the dusty Eastern Front, it’s back to La Belle France for the next few weeks as we look at a few samples added to our Normandy 1944 Collection.

Briefly we have three nice samples for you this week, starting with a photo of some German POW’s boarding a boat back to England and then possibly onto USA. 

Normandy Collection No 764

 Once on board a US Navy vessel, they all look as if they are enjoying a good meal and perhaps relieved to be safe and away from the battlezone.

Normandy Collection No 765

Meanwhile going the other way into France as these GI’s. How does that record player with a wind-up handle compare to modern iPods, I wonder. Good photot of the US Army M-1941 combat jacket, which to many look like a militarised golfing jacket.
