Truly amazing images there Olley. Looks like Pearl Harbour maybe ??

I have to ask sorry and I am hiding behind a big rock but are you the photographer or maybe your Dad ??

Pleas don't hit me too hard.

Phew! I can come out from behind the rock now.

Still great pics though, no matter what side.

Brilliant stuff, thanks for the post. I will have to dig around for some of my Dads from Kokoda.

Cheers

it would be great to send the originals to the war museum at Canberra so the plates and negatives are properly cared for. The futility of war, the total waste of people and the profits made by a few at the cost of millions....

Fantastic photos yep the war museum is the place for them
And yes Bruce and Bev the futility of war only proves which side has the most guns and expendable people never proves who was right or wrong , my dad was in ww2 and I am so glad I didn't have to go through what he and many others did
May they rest in peace .

Tony Robinson's WW1 on SBS Wednesday nights at 7.30pm pulls no punches, showing unseen on TV stereoscopic pictures of the battle fields, bodies, bits and pieces and all. Maybe if shows like this are more available we could stop these Moslem young men going overseas to fight. Bloody cannon fodder.

This is the link to the original site of the photo's surprisingly from Sheffield England - heaps of others as well. Snopes and Hoax slayer say the Brownie bit is wrong, but irrespective of that I reckon it's a great post by Olley46. smile

All the available info, film, books, verbal histories, that was available to me, and everyone else since I was a child. Well did it stop us! Korea, Malaya, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Iraq again.

Where have all the young men gone,

Long Time Passing

Where have all the young men gone,

Long Time ago

Where have all the young men gone,

Gone for Soldiers Everyone

When will we ever learn

I was suspicious when I saw they were from various theater's of the 2nd World War.

I mean from Pearl Harbour to taking a picture from an Italian Airforce Plane. Then a German Seaplane and Heavy Artillery ?
