SS John W Brown & Jeremiah O'Brien still exist as running "museum" ships.

A few more.
Interesting collection there. The Warsaw '43 uprising photo appears to show Jurgen Stroop, who finally met the hangman's rope in March '52.
Yep here it is.

Josef Blosche is the other soldier identified, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_Bl%C3%B6sche
it took until 1969 before he received his just deserts!

Also a Sherman, M3 Halftrack and a very battered Chaffee hull.

Just to show it's not just German stuff coming out of Russia's wastes
A Type 95 Ha-Go.
From this
Following stages
To this
The Kuril Islands are still covered in WW2 wrecks, both vehicles & aircraft.
This is a most interesting find. How did it get there?
-
Bloody good job we didn't have to fight a real war with the bloody things!
-
I've been to Lancaster a few times, not really much to see.
-
Interesting picture of ford T Ambulances, one driver has got up early and cleared his of snow, but the rest must still be in bed!
Does anyone recognise the military vehicles and in which country the second photo is taken
They're Renault FT17 (The little tanks), MkV (Large tanks) the armoured cars are Austins, I think.
I'm guessing it is somewhere in Russia, during our abortive intervention post 1917 Revolution.
-
Never seen this creation before, found it on a Russian website, apparently used to bombard Austrian alpine fortifications.
-
I'm guessing it's in the UK, judging by the wall posters.

Demir Hisar, Bulgaria, 1917

I've also got the magazine keys to HMS Havant, the rest of the ship being somewhere off Dunkirk.

Near enough.

Scroll down to the bottom of the list.

Incredible footage!
You'd never believe it was true if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes!!
I wonder what happened to the Stug after recovery
Perhaps there may be a Tiger or two lurking in Russian bogs after all!!
It's currently displayed at Saratov http://fotovalkirumodelism.com/page.php?page=153
(And the rest of that website's worth a browse!)
There's been quite a few Tiger bits recovered over the years, several intact smaller tanks fished from rivers & bogs too.
-
This lot's worth a look at.
Plenty of ex-British softskins, in addition to Grants, a Matilda & other armour.

My late paternal grandfather served on submarines during the 1930s. I inherited his photo albums, so here's a few I uploaded onto my Facebook account.
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=125804&id=697708983&l=85ac624908
Includes photos of the ill-fated HMS Poseidon, that sunk after a collision in July 1931 and recently made headlines again, after the Chinese salvaged it on the quiet.

Cannons may be bronze, certainly not brass!

Another one around the side.
Wolverine.
I was trying to ask M Leloup if I could have a look around the back, but my French was inadequate for the job!
Tank graveyard par excellance!

About 10 photos, no date or location given, Russian website.
Shows M10s, an M3 Lee/Grant and an interesting Sherman with extra turret armour and a vision-blocked cupola.
Be warned, you could (& probably will!) spend hours looking through this guy's photos, there's all sorts of tasty military junk there!
