MARNE's Collection...

Hope you guys enjoy the photos...

NO. I want a closeup photo of the Radio equipment in the Peep. I'm trying to learn about the types of radios and especially how they were mounted in the vehicles.

Love the photos. I might want to use one on my website.

 

 

This is the U.S. 91st Engineering Battalion's original 1933 battalion flag...

Very cool. It is amazing that it survived. I made contact with someone whose father brought home the regimental flags of my Dad's unit. If he had not done that, then it would have been destroyed or thrown in some large storage warehouse in Colorado----did you see the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark"? That warehouse at the end of the movie is a real place.

 

Anyway, the family has decided to donate the flag to a museum. I'm trying to find a museum that will display it.

 

BTW, flags and tanks and artillery, etc. are considered property of the US Gov't. Only personal equipment and weapons could be kept by the soldier. So, if a museum receives a flag, it has to notify the Gov't and they can claim it if they want. Just thought you might want to know.
