I've never seen most of these photos at this link. All are of American equip/soldiers it looks like.

Sorry if this link has already been posted.

It's in the manual. [;)]

I'm sure the senior troops got the back row.

Check out the Youtube video in this article. I've never seen this before. At 00:14 an explosion throws an entire tank about 10 ft into the air. Impressive.

BTW this site (War History Online) has a lot of interesting articles. You may want to bookmark it, if you haven't already.

No with one hand, the other hand is used for saluting the commanding officer.
Well you gotta pee when you got to pee. Divers do it in their wetsuit, and especially funny when you're wearing a dry suit. [:D] Hikers when in very cold conditions use an empty bottle in their tent. Cyclists when in a race do it when they are cycling, sure sometimes they step off but mostly it's done during the race. I've never seen a whole platoon do it on command though [&:]

Good photos RK.
Seeing those large calibre holes in the tank wrecks just makes one cringe

Oh absolutely, must've been 88, went right though them and you can't but wonder... what happened to the guys inside?? [:(]

Well, the doctor told me that I should use two hands to lift anything that heavy. Plus, I kind of have to lift with my knees a little too. [:D]
