How stiff would Japanese resistance be in Taiwan/Formosa? The population was not Japanese but like Korea under Japanese rule since 1905. Having been there so long, I would expect there to be more fortifications.

Philippines and the Filipinos did not like the Japanese who offered them nothing but brutality. They had numerous guerilla...

Thanks for welcoming me to the site.

As I explained in my intro I used to post regularly for many years on the old Armchair General Forum and have been checking out and doing ‘test’ postings on a few other sites since ACG folded and simply disappeared a couple of years back.

BTW: Anyone know if the ACG Forum is ‘archived’ somewhere on the ‘cloud’ they had some great stuff (mostly mine!!!)?

Amazingly since I started posting here a day ago, I noticed my poster profile tells me I...

I read where one guy recovered a sniper rifle, but had to surrender it to battalion. Audie Murphy sent his captured rifle home sans the scope and hand carried the scope back to Texas. Also read of a 101 Airborne trooper who took one he captured in Normandy back to England (but I don't know what happened after that).

GIs lusted for the P-08 and some brought them home. One fellow filled his accordian with handguns and shipped them home that...

Does anyone know if the men who served there in any army had kidney stones later in life?

A Pole served in the German army and was taken prisoner by the British.
Here is the prisoner of war registration card.

View attachment 38612

What is the abbreviation "N.W.A."?
The date below is probably 13 June 1944.

Second issue.
If I read it correctly, it also says
"Polish Base CMF
Unit disbanded
Location not known
23.6.44
(Census Jan 47)"

Is it that the location of the military unit is unknown?
Is it that Antony's whereabouts are unknown?
