centurion Posted 1 May , 2008 Share Posted 1 May , 2008 Very nice. The enclosed may be also of interest. It shows members of the Union Defence Force (UDF) that took part in the campaign. Note the man in the prone position with a Madsen machine gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushfighter Posted 3 May , 2008 Author Share Posted 3 May , 2008 German cavalry in South West Africa Roop No I don't. Instead I spent my money on buying every military set of cigarette and trade cards that I could afford. There is much interesting information on these cards. Sadly military museums do not seem attracted to them, but they were a link between the public and the armed forces. Many sets of cards are now reproduced and they retail for a few pounds. I am sure that The Long, Long Trail bookstore could easily sell reproduction sets like "Military Motors" (Post #1 on this thread). Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
