Evening Hanno:

My, up late aren't we. Is the bambino keeping you up???

I am finally getting more or less OK with my scanners and the now 4 different software programs to try to offer better photos.
If one doesn't do the job, I try another and if you bear with me I will eventually figure it all out.

Your comment about the foul weather gear is spot on. Dad used to remark that the US Army has always had troops dedicated to "winter warfare" but they were never ready when needed and the Marines almost always trained for tropical or desert conditions but they were always ready to go and went.
This was very evident in Korea. When they arrived in July/August, the Marines were pretty well equipped for the climate and weather, absenting heat prostration problems with the troops. When they got sent up north in Nov/Dec, they were rather ill equipped for the weather at the Chosin Reservoir.
I am still searching my photos for some more stuff for your project.
Cheers
Bill
Oh, please try to get some sleep.
