mulesuk

in my line of work i'm always looking for more wartime pictures here are some nice ones i've recently picked up on the net

I love that second one!Most of the ones I've see look set up or on parade but that one looks as if they are really fond of each other

Can you tell us more about where and when they are likely to have been taken? We only did "naff" history at school and I am reading up more on the World Wars as I feel I'm completely lacking in knowledge about them.

First photo - look at the quality of those mules!
Second - what would the coat have been made from?
Third - not so convinced of the quality of that mule!!
Fourth - dear god, how did anyone survive?

Any more?!!

Thanks very interesting.
What line of work?
Have you tried the Austarlian Natioanal War Museum site?

The last image is just awful!
I know it was hard for the men but I feel more sorry for the mule somehow
