ian turner Posted 22 July , 2007 Share Posted 22 July , 2007 Well, nonesense or not, this thread has really pulled out some interesting pictures. Educating and entertaining at the same time. I think it is time to revive the seldom seen gallantry award 'Pour le cafe', or "Blue-Egbert" (similar to Blue Max). Last seen on the Tranches in the Sand Dunes thread. Same is awarded to all photographic posters on this thread, an unusual mass-decoration! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
