"Pidgeon scout": This ww1 mail dove has been equipped with a camera, the timer has been set to a setting that will probably show a certain part of the enemy territory under the calculated flight route.

Grunts, M113 APC and a Huey somewhere in Vietnam. The middle guy just spotted Lumberjack Commandos working for the Green Berets.

Far as I know that's another posed shot...its again a question of "if these are french guys attacking through a storm of bullets...wtf is the camera man doing"



Here's a photo I do believe to be real though, noting that the camera is sitting over the lip of dirt, meaning the camera man is actually poking just barely out of a trench.

Canadian Rangers just after eating spaghetti.
And yes Canadian rangers are still armed with the Lee Enfield no.4.

Troops of B Company of the Royal Australian Regiment wade across a river in Phuoc My province, southeast of Saigon, June 22, 1970.

Notice the FN FAL's. Troops loved their FAL's for their high reliability, Heavy stopping power and accuracy....

But dont ever fire this thing on full automatic, unless you wanna clean a room....

German bunker in World War 1 on the Western Front.  Unlike the allies, the germans lived in relative comfort, creating massive bunker cities underneath the lines, complete with armoures, kitchens, and even running water and electricity if they were near enough to villages.  Soldiers were allowed to bring furniture from home, or from destroyed towns, and even wallpapered the wood and earthen walls.  Excess rain and waste water was pumped out, and, as the german positions were almost always higher then the allied, was allowed to flow down into the allied trenches.  It all stemmed from the differing tactical choices, the allied generals believing, to the end of the war, that trenches were temporary, and duly should not be made to live in, as the men are supposed to be charging forward, while the germans saw trenches are a permanent feature of the war, and duly should be made comfortable for the soldiers to live in.

Finnish Artillery truck drivers doing what they do best: nothing.

(Meanwhile everyone else was setting up the command post with full combat gear on)
It's half naked people on boats. That's all.
Here in Finland we call that "summer".
