One more photo. some have PW on them [ POW ]. I have 13 photos of this group at a pow camp.

Two photos from my collection, Fire truck run by German POWs at a pow camp in Germany nov 1945.

Well i have been looking on the web and found this info. he was in the 3rd Carpathian Rifle Div at Italy and has an award, card number 23918. and later on in the 1st Polish Armoured Corps, on his BD he has the 1st Armoured Corps badge [steel Fist] and the cloth badge on his right sholder on his BD. Found the photos of the badges on Web sights.

Some more photos of him and his frends, taken after the war.

Can you ID the polish bages & any paper work. I have a pay book and army photos, for Sgt B.Czajko Army number 18842/45 or 261/c/1915/III and his PRC number 30036824. They came with some paper work. Think he was a Sgt in the Polish Army, has a 1 under his capbadge , 1st Army corps ? and a badge, looks like an arm with a sword. The photo of him taken in march 1944. i have allso a photo of him in the army in November 1942 in british battledress with Poland on his arm. I think he was in the Polish army from 1937. Think the card is from the Carpathian Rifle Div Italy. Thanks for any help.

Not far from getting it finished now.

Thanks for all the info and help guys, Tim can you put the page that you have with the info on here?.

So far no one knows if it is a bren or thompson gun holder.

They do not charge at the Essex MVT Military & Flying Machines show to bring your military vehs or to Exhibit, i do not take my Military Vehs to shows that do charge you, to take your military veh in. I do know that is costs a lot and time and money to put on a military show, but without us taking our vehs ect there would not be many good shows.

one more photo of bag with 1938 date .

I have this canvas bag/holder and was told it was for a Bren gun, then i was told it was for a Thompson SMG. its dated 1938 made by MECo. 3 feet 1 inch long and 9 inchs wide at the top end. Any one know which one it is .

Can any one date the my bike, i thought it was a 1946 model, But i have looked on the web and it may be a 1948 as it has a headlight switch on the top and a later type exhaust expansion chamber on it . They could have been put on at a later time. Eng No 5793 [ww2]? Frame No 14962. Thanks for your help.

At last we got the bike going and took it for a spin for the first time in years. its great to get a bike or veh going for the first time. Makes you feel like a kid again.

We used them in the Army cadets untill the cadet SA80s came in.

Some more photos from the same lot. Navy Radio + Large Gas masks. The one of the truck is good as its still has its Old number MV 5137 + the New L 22351 with the Army and Navy guys in the back. Could the truck be a AEC Marshal?.

Hi Steve, No i have just bought them today 4 photos and i did not see the steam roller,thought it was a cooker whats the Navy + Radio doing with the Army? Sorry i have to put Original photo on it as so many people use them and they do cost to buy. I do send them to mags and windscreen free, and to collectors. Think the photos were taken in the late 1930s. Keith

Thanks for the info Guys, only 3 were made number TG 263, TG 267 and TG 271. 2 of the planes crashed. There is some film of one flying on Youtube. [ SR.A1 ]. The British were first to fly a Jet Sea Plane in 1947. One is in a museum.

Is this a Army bus or just used by them as i can not see any Army ID.

Can you ID this Jet sea plane. RAF 1950s ?. has number T? 5259 not that clear on the side of plane. its being towed by a boat.

Found this original photo in my collection. Hope it helps. RAF Inda .
