Fascinating footage. Thanks for sharing it with us. Thanks to my dear wife, I was able to visit Manila and Corregidor back in 1991 or ‘92. This trip was my first and so far only visit to WWII battlefields. There was horrendous fighting and damage  in Manila in 1945. Most of which has been cleared and rebuilt. There are sections of the old walled city that are still in ruins.  Corregidor has been preserved in a state of arrested development. The whole island is basically a shrine. Very beautiful place.  To see these places and know what happened there not to long ago is very moving to a history buff like me.  mikie

I have over 400 slides that both my dad and I have taken.  Most were from my time in Vietnam and Thailand.  to scan my slides, I use a HP Scanjet 5300C scanner.  I started using it around 2002 and I'm on number 4.  The only drawback is that it can be used with Windows 10 and not higher.  It has templates that you can use for slides and negatives.  I use mine to scan Engineer insignias in order to create my own catalog.  And I do have two computers and the other is for my printers and newer software updates.

I would suggest to have a look at this forum, they have a section on restoring WW1 vehicles, maybe someone there can help you:   https://hmvf.co.uk/

Museums and the places themselves where history was made is one thing. Meeting the people who made the history is something else. Experiencing both at the same time is out of this world. I’m glad to hear you experienced this.  mikie

Some of the finest items I have ever seen. Great stuff. Thanks for posting. Dave

In BKK yes. The Jatuk Jak (spelling?) or better known as the JJ market, and a few other places that I can’t remember the names of at this moment. Should pop up when you do a Google search. Remember they call it Vintage militaria. As with Hua Hin, don’t think so?   Best Martin

Get some crepeline silk tacked into a frame and either loop threads (taken from a raw end of the crepeline) around the patches or through already existing holes in the patch to hold them in place. Probably more than anybody wants to mess with, though.

In the 90's there was a huge Flea Market I think North of Bangkok towards the Airport on Sundays. Never can say what would turn up. It was huge. You could get lost in it. Dave

I too have patches in my collection that are stained but not sure about how they got that way, so I leave them alone.  If I know of how the stains got there (mice that peed on some of my patches) I know how to wash them.

Thanks Scott That gives me incentive to post more 😉 But The really cool stuff is getting harder and harder to find :)       Thanks for the Help John I appreciate any pointers I can get 👍 I will have to figure something out for the double sided display, Probably have to make a DIY thick frame that will fit  2 or 3 sheets of MAT BOARD with individual cut-outs for each patch. That should keep the glass pressure off the patches and Built Loose enough to allow some air flow.
