Thank was great thanks for sharing.

Very, very interesting! I liked how the edged weapons stayed so similar through the century's. The mess kits and gaming devises too. They can ship me that Lee Enfield anytime, too!
Thanks op!

Great article!

There's another picture thing like this but it's rations of the world... in terms of this, it looks best to be either an australian or a swedish soldier (best food) and worst to be a chinese soldier (their food looks like a tin of rice poridge with bugs in it).
