Then and Now pictures: IJMUIDEN Holland

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Alex

Interesting pictures, this would be an interesting way of teaching history to make it more relevant to young people, using historical pictures then modern photos from the same perspective.

Years ago (1997) a friend brought back from the UK a copy of After the Battle Press D-Day Then and Now Volume-2 which is a wonderful collection of then and now photos. At the time I search for Volume-1 here in the States for a copy with no luck. Even tried to order it thorough US distributor without luck same outfit also handled Vanderveen's Wheels and Track Magazine and they seem to have problems at that time of keeping track of subscription or orders. Well anyway after reading your 1st post this morning I went online and found Volume-1 and ordered it.

The picture of the Subs with the CMP parked beside them would be a good addition to the "In the background" thread.

Cheers Phil
