Thanks for the story, Phil
I've read several stories about Shackleton and his expedition with Endurance. One of the real great true life stories there is.

"Men Wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success." / Ernest Shackleton (1874—1922)

A quick search led me to these two war time photos.
First pic is from the US Life magazine ( i had no idea Life was interested in our far-away war). The photo is taken in our winter war, soon after the battle of road to Raate. i have no idea about the second either, just two sergeants smoking a pipe. The one on the left (sgt major, four arrows) has German-style Finnish helmet and the the other (3 arrows) has a Russian helmet (spoils of war?). I have no idea. I have some of hat cockades, taken by my grandfather and my great uncle. I think they are just a memorials of the sad times.

Well the first one seems to be wearing some kind of baseball cap, so I don't blame the other guys grabbing something with a tad more substance to put on their heads. That's why they're sergeants... Originally Posted by Sailor
