Re: Pretty Nasty Action in the Philippines
I was a patient at Walter Reed back in the spring of ‘72…officers’ ward. One of the retired guys on the unit was in his late 90’s, and had enlisted in 1896, commissioned later and retired as a major, just before or shortly after we got involved in World War I, I think. Major Cohen…not sure of spelli...

Re: Finally checking in

Re: Finally checking in
OK, folks. I have tried and failed to post photos. Even when trying to post one image, with no text, I get a message telling me the file is too large. Obviously, I’m doing something wrong…go figure. Any suggestions? (Perhaps, based upon my technological challenges, Krags are too sophisticated…maybe,...

Even one photo seems to be too large a file.
I must be doing something wrong…go figure.

Re: Krags in the Movies
Technically not a “movie” - but a popular old TV show. “Hogan’s Heroes” - doubtless, I am not the only one here who remembers it. Anyhow, John Banner, the portly actor who played Sergeant Schultz, was Jewish, from Austria. When the Germans annexed Austria in ‘38, he emigrated to the US. Apparently, ...

Re: Finally checking in
I'm a true child of the Fifties...computers, heck, even transistor radioes, are way over my head...but, if I can figure out how to post some pictures, I will do so.

Re: Passing of an icon
I saw her on several talk shows over the years…always smart, kind, and considerate. I believe her beauty was not just skin deep.
I remember watching her on TV in the Bob Hope USO tour shows. I got to see him, but, alas, never her.
I mourn her passing.

Greetings, all. Please forgive this much-delayed introduction! I’ve been registered for a while, and am finally getting around to participating. I’m Rob. Collected Civil War since ‘68. Firearms-wise, I lean towards Garands, 03’s and trapdoors. And, yes, there is a Krag in the stable. Just one. A 92/...
