hi, since we are on the subject of revisionist history, i thought i'll dig up this old photo from december 07 from one of our flickr group photo walks...
we have a war memorial here, built in 1939 in memory of those who died in WWI and later extended to include WWII and a few others which india bought with china and pakistan post independence. it is a huge circular structure with a tower in the middle, with the circular structure naming the various theatre of operations and those who died there. this is a shot of the base of the central tower: http://picasaweb.google.com/pdml.live/PESO#5257224399856328722 nobody knows when 'empire' was changed to 'nation' but obviously it was. what do you guys think? the full 'tower' here: http://picasaweb.google.com/pdml.live/PESO#5257224400320090594 both, *ist DS and the da 16-45mm... btw, fwiw, india sent, under the british, the largest volunteer army from any single country to WWII. my own father saw action under the british in the then 'far east'. he was a soldier, not an officer, with the signals. never talked about it much except that he lugged a marconi around. lived to the ripe old age of 85. and in his last days/years, a decade back, he got enormous pleasure out of decoding morse signals in the short wave bands of the panasonic 12-band transistor radio he had. :-) if you have been with me this far, thanks for listening. and looking. regards, subash -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
