I am out now, thanks.

they don't keep you in if they can shift you out!

I'm OK so long as I don't laugh - so this is a great place to be.

Hadn't realised you were in hospital, but glad you are out.

Hope you mend quickly.

Thank you.

It was one of those minor things that I'd been waiting a while for.

Troops of the 6th Royal Frontier Force Rifles, 62nd Indian Infantry Brigade, 19th Indian Infantry Division, in a Universal carrier in the village of Frisa, Province of Chieti, Italy. 14 December 1943.

What is it about Indian troops? This photo makes me want to get some Rajputs and Sikhs.

Cool photo - perhaps they have a certain martial look to them? Other than the guy in the commanders seat - who rather has the look of Cpt Mainwaring?

IDF Sherman, with what is believed to be a nochri mine roller system. When it was in use, it would be assembled on the front of the tank.
It wasn't only used in minefields but also in roadworks ( example in a kibbutz ) to harden roads ....


Conversion project for someone

Danish artist Marianne Jørgensen made this Tank Cosy in Copenhagen. It was created after she requested that knitters from all over the world send her knitted pink squares. She then filmed the process of stitching these squares together over the top of an M24 Chaffe light tank as an artistic criticism of the Danes involvement in Iraq

I love the pom-pom on the gun barrel
