Good belly warmer. I hope it isn't spooked by gunfire. That could be painful.

Simple Sound of Freedom about 101 trooper Joseph Beryle's (sp) capture, imprisonment, escape and then fighting alongside the Red Army would make a good mini-series.

A Sapper's War by Ralph Carr. His preface is spot on about war censors and locations being omitted by the writer or by the censor. I hate that (but understand) and he mentions the unit history helped him to rediscover the place where it was written. Once I asked a woman to go through the...

I would not stash it beneath a mattress b/c of brrrrrrrrr! which devalues your funds everytime the Fed punches its enter key on their computer. I would find an undervalued aaset that has no counter-party risk. If you must buy land, I prefer farmland over ranch land and ranch land over rental...

Like the bubonic plague it will spread. It's only just begun. On Friday (March 10) it was announced that collectively JP Morgue, Wells Fargo, BoA and Morgue-Chase Stanley lost $55 billion. Actually, Dodd-Frank Act redefined YOU the depositor as an unsecured creditor who stands second in line...

We will always need snipers if for no other reason to dominate the opponent's snipers. What the brass is doint flies in the face of history.

Might also want to read Williams Cubbins War of the Cottontails. Cubbins was a B-24 pilot who was in a Romanian Pow camp and was rescued.

Very good read. You'll like his other book, The Brass Ring. He gives an accout of his meeting with Patton. You'll enjoy Harold Simpson's Audie Murphy: American Soldier.

Riflemen. It's about the 5/60 Royal Americans from inception to post-war disbandment.

I read in Bill Mauldin's (Joe & Willie cartoon of WW II Stars and Stripes) book Brass Rings that Louie Lamour didn't write all the novels published under his name. Lamour died and many novels written by a 3rd party were published post-death under Lamour's name. HIs agent kept the gravy train...

Robert Griffith's Riflemen: The History of the 5th Battalion, 60 (Royal American) Regiment, 1797-1818.

Be a neat class to take; but I hate artificially aging things.

Thanks.

Merry Christmas one & all. PU? Looks like a WW 2 reticle (and not ours - but that isn't a complaint).

Mauldin served in the 45th and left his original artwork to the 45th Museum. He starred with Audie Murphy in a b/w version of Stephen Crane's Red Badge of Courage. Recently I learned that when Audie played the young soldier, he refused to admit to his fear to the soldier protrayed by Mauldin...

#cas6969 - You can try to find Parket Hale Enfield parts for the Whitworth. The Perdesoli Whitworth isn't the same as the one purchased by the Confederacy. The Confederate one as seen in the images from the 45th Infantry Div. Museum (Thunderbirds, OKC - free admission so no excuse for you...

Have you measured the bolts and are they .451 from side to side? Who made the mould? For the benefit of other members here, I have done extensive research on the blackpower muzzle loader sharpshooter who preceded the WW I sniper. My first book was on that subject matter (856 pages with...

What mould is that for the Whitworth and what does it cast?
