                        kaleu, Thank you for posting the information. That is very interesting. Luckily they had someone there who recognized what it was.

                        Another case of that old adage...

                        Fantastic!

                        Some FT were used during the 1919 Anglo-Afghan war...

                        http://mailer.fsu.edu/~akirk/tanks/ (click on the Afghan flag to see the details)

                        As you'll notice, the picture shows a FT with the round, cast turett, similar to the one found by the GIs.

                        Smile [:)]

                        WOW

                        I'll say that backwards...

                        WOW

                        Seriuosly, though... WOW. Of all places...

                        Fade to Black...
