resk Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 The photo's doubtless faked but it's supposed accurately reflect the number of survivors from the top photo by December 1914, not the end of the war. Losses in the early months of the war were horrendous.Fair enough, I didn't read the comments properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An unpopular opinion perhaps, but not among anyone who would have had to fight their way up the Japanese home islands against a bunch of murderous psychopaths. Every Purple Heart the US military have issued since WW2 was made in 1945 in preparation for the invasion of Japan. That covers the entire Korean and Vietnam wars, plus Iraq, Afghanistan and all the rest, and they've still got plenty left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad was on a ship heading for India when they thought Japan might break through Burmah. Before they saw land the Yanks were called on deck to get their Indian Campaign medal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Not necessarily poppy related. Aiden McGeady and James McCarthy would get similar stick from the Scotland support over not playing for the national team that represents where they grew up. Unlike those two who always steered clear of playing for Scotlsnd teams, James McLean represented NI at the youth level before switching allegiances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
