    Yes.

    For recognizing that these were French (I had hoped people would start to seek US history).

    From that starting point it probably was very easy.

    Your turn Keyser!

    They don't look like Vietnam Era weapons to me (I know there was a few WW2-era weapons still used but I thought most had been replaced?)





    Edit: I see its been cracked. Nicely done- they looked very American to me with the helmet shapes and the M1919

    The landing and conquest of the Suez area was contested and there was fighting even if the egyptian presence in the area was too weak and they had no chances to repell the assault, so yes, i would count it as a battle.

    Others pics from the operation.

    Battle of Salsu river, between Goguryeo (Koreans) and Sui (Chinese). The Sui were defeated and their dynasty fell.

    Ooh this one made me brush up on my Byzantine history . Luckily today is a day of distraction from my accounting so I have time
    ^^^ Close, they're Persian Sassanid soldiers

    Battle of Callinicum

    Part of the many many many many many many many wars the Byzantines/Romans fought with the Persians/Sassanids.
