Default Photographs folder

I notice many of the other categories on the forum have a 'photographs of servicemen' folder. Is this something that the SA section is lacking? A photograph is often of immense value and can answer several questions about what was worn by whom where. Does anyone else think it would be a good idea to have such a folder? How does one go about setting one up?

Not sure how to go about it either but I think it's a great idea to have a historical record of servicemen and their regiments.

Default Staats Artillerie photos?

I have been looking for ZAR and OVS arty pix for years. There must be some out there. We had a thread a few months ago with some nice ZARP photos.

I agree on this 100%, it's so nice to be able to reference a Photo folder. The Aussies, the Canadians and Brits have one..

Admin is it possible that this can this be organised please?

Many thanks

Pictures can clear up a lot of speculation, our WW2 soldiers are fading fast along with their memories sadly.

Time stands still for no one and sadly, actually talking to a person who actually witnessed events in the war itself, in any capacity whatsoever, is becoming much harder.
