WWI Navy Sailors Capture German Gear – Pickelhaube Helmets, Guns, Bayonets and Trench Knives

October 28, 2011 / portraitsofwar / 8 Comments

Over a million doughboys probably did it, but I’ve rarely seen shots of Navy sailors with captured German gear.  German helmets, bayonets, pistols, rifles, swords, and medals!  Phew!    Funny thing is, I picked up similar WWII image a few months back.  Check it out!  From the LCT 535
