What army/unit am I?

[Zapp Brannigan]

PPCLI in Vietnam. I believe it was 2 PPCLI.

Korea, but yeah, PPCLI

That was my other guess, but I thought you were trying for something more obscure to throw us off. ;)

All thanks to S. Craford "SAS" and SAS: Survival Secrets

Thanks Pete.

Well, seeing as we had that same uniform up until 7 years ago, I don't think it was a hard guess.... Plus I think we are the only country to have epaulettes on the back of our parkas...

True. But they may not have noticed. ;)

 

[Pete031]

ok, my turn...
But I want the Unit, not only the country.... It should not be that hard to find.

 

[Crusader74]

US Marines??:confused:

US Marines??:confused:

nope.... and it is the Dude on the left who is in question. If you can find out who the guy on the right is too, you get double the points.

 

[Pete031]

anyone??

 

[RackMaster]

I don't want to play this one. ;)

 

[RackMaster]

Alright, I'll answer it. I don't remember which Battalion Pte. Cloutier was from but he was and may still be part of the Canadian Forces recruit training on standing your ground and controlling your emotions. I can't remember the exact class. I'm pretty sure he was eventually booted out of the Forces for drug related charges.

Pte. Patrick Cloutier, a 'Van Doo' perimeter sentry, and Mohawk Warrior Brad "Freddy Krueger" Larocque, a University of Saskatchewan economics student, face off

What unit and when? Super bonus points if you can name the gentlemen pictured.

 

[SpitfireV]

I would guess Ethiopia in the 30s, Italian army. Don't know who they are.

Indeed 92nd, but WW1 era. They are 1LT C.L. Abbott, CPT Joseph L. Lowe, 2LT Aaron R. Fisher, and CPT E. White. Lt. Fisher received the Distinguished Service Cross while serving with the 366th Infantry Regiment, 92nd Division, "for extraordinary heroism in action near Lesseux, France, September 3, 1918. Lieutenant Fisher showed exceptional bravery in action when his position was raided by a superior force of the enemy by directing his men and refusing to leave his position, although he was severely wounded. He and his men continued to fight the enemy until the latter were beaten off by counterattack."

Curious - where did you get the pic from? The story sounds fascinating.

Or is that a trade secret? ;)
