1962 it must have been a quiet day as he sits in his fox hole reading Hot Rod having a beer a cigarette and Rifle ready if he might need it . I found this today in my old photo's so many to go through but this is a classic . I wonder where the sgt was ? My Family photo's tell a lot as I sort through some of them .
A category for Military photo's would be good .

He must have needed a break from digging that fox hole ;-)
David think your right . I looks like hard clay dirt to dig . I just wonder how her got the beer onto the field . Sadly has passed away so I can't ask him . But he was a character in fact he is on photo with the boo boo shoot with bikes . A free spirit to be sure .
Thank you mrmaj :-)
Thank you fitter :-)
Manikin,
after enlarging photo, it looks like 2 medical tents in the background with medic truck approaching.
Dave
pw-collector . I didn't notice but I think your right or is it the MP's coming for him. I wish I could ask him :-(
where was this taken?
Mikie I don't know . I have all his military photo's but I can't ask him where this was he passed away from cancer at a young age . Does it look like any place you have seen ?
Thank you Phil :-)
Manikin, what the heck did you list last nite? I got 76 emails all from Show and Tell saying Manikin listed a new item. You must have had Super Powers to list all that! LOL
Manikin can you see in your photo what year the Hot Rod Magazine he was reading? As from this side i can not. The reason I am asking i might have it ;)
Thanks
LOL Dizzy I am sorry I have no idea why you got that many emails . I only listed this photo and I am not sure unless there was a glitch in system . Please accept my apologies for filling your mailbox but I really did not list that much .
I am however waiting to see more of your records :-)
Hi Bratjdd I am going to try to blow it up and see if can tell . On the actual photo it is way to small to see . I will let you know ok :-)))))) I can tell he is drinking a Pabst Beer .but he never drank beer after service .
Thanks Manikin, I appreciated. It looks like he needed it to relax while he read this Hot Rod magazine.
Manikin,

Keeps giving me the June issue, but if you move the curser down the left side of the cover an arrow will appear to click on and it will take you back to the May issue.

I will post some more of my Record finds. I do post the Rare ones on youtube under dizzydaves2007. Most recent is a Super Rare 78 by Angel Face early Soul. It must have been a glitch in the system, all of emails were the same. But it was Funny! LOL
I will check out youtube Dizzy :-) Yes it was a glitch and CW got it fixed as quick as they could . I have not heard it happened to anyone's mail but yours . I guess CW thought we needed to communicate with each other more LOL . Thank you for not getting mad at me as I did not send them I guess you won the drawing for the most CW notices in a day :-)
Thank you Hedge and kerry for spreading a little love to my post :-)
