Great photos Mike!

Nice pics Mike.

Does anyone know if the book Mike posted is available here in the US? I did an online search but only found it for sale in Italy.

Thanks in advance for the help.

If helpful (BUT PLEASE, DO NOT EXPECT ME TO BE FAST....) I can collect orders for you. I am still working on Valente's book, but can try and get some copies of this one too. Mike, have you maybe kept a card from the authour we bought it from, in Milan?

link to Herlè's thread

I was talking with Marco, and thinking back at Herlè's thread on his dear friend E.PRILLER

He notices he is wearing a water pattern smock AND a MAB... Herlè, do you maybe have any info on where this picture was taken? Maybe in Italy....?

Oh... I thought the MAB could have "linked" the photo to an Italian battlefield...
Wonderful anyway!

Well, due to most of the german vets I talked to - they did!

therefore you'll find more mint conditioned items in the US than in germany,

"french fight for glory, british for the empire, germans for fun and americans for souvenirs"
