20.01.2022 Smoky (c. 1943 21 February 1957), a Yorkshire Terrier, was a famous war dog who served in WW2. She weighed only 1.8 kg and stood 180 mm tall. In February 1944..., Smoky was found by an American soldier in an abandoned foxhole in the New Guinea jungle and was later sold to Corporal William Wynne of Cleveland, Ohio. Smoky back-packed through the war and accompanied Wynne on combat flights in the Pacific. She faced adverse circumstances, living in the New Guinea jungle and Rock Islands. As described by Wynne, "Smoky served in the South Pacific with the 5th Air Force, 26th Photo Recon Squadron and flew 12 air/sea rescue and photo reconnaissance missions." On those flights, Smoky spent long hours dangling in a soldiers pack near machine guns used to ward off enemy fighters. Smoky was credited with twelve combat missions and awarded eight battle stars. She survived 150 air raids on New Guinea and made it through a typhoon at Okinawa. Wynne credited Smoky with saving his life by warning him of incoming shells on an LST (transport ship), calling her an "angel from a foxhole." As the ship deck was booming and vibrating from anti-aircraft gunnery, Smoky guided Wynne to duck the fire that hit eight men standing next to them. Smoky learned numerous tricks, which she performed for the entertainment of troops with Special Services and in hospitals from Australia to Korea. After the war Smoky became a national sensation. Over the next 10 years, Smoky and Wynne travelled to Hollywood and all over the world to perform demonstrations of her remarkable skills. Smoky died at the age of 14. Wynne and his family buried Smoky in a WW2 .30 caliber ammo box in the Cleveland Metroparks, Rocky River Reservation in Lakewood, Ohio. Information and photograph came from Wikipedia.

11.01.2022 Just delivered a very special order. Nine Australian Army Stilettos made from unsalvageable pieces of the MV KRAIT. The pieces we have used were part of the ves...sel when it took part in OPERATION JAYWICK, the raid on Singapore harbour that was Australias very first special operation. The timber used in these is Japanese Teak from the hull of the KRAIT that is nearly 100 years old. We collected the original nails from the timber and forged them into canister Damascus to make the blades. The boxes are made from pieces of the hull which have been lightly machined and then preserved using Tung oil. The blades are 100% accurate to the 1943 Whittingslow pattern stilettos that were carried by Z Force on OPERATION JAYWICK. Weve just delivered these to the Australian War Memorial and from there they will be going to the Commanding Officers of Australias Special Operations units. The COs of these units will wear these as part of their ceremonial uniforms, creating a direct link between todays Australian Special Forces and the moment of their inception. NOTE: NOT FOR SALE - THESE ARE ON COMMISSION TO THE AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIAL USING MATERIALS THEY ARE CUSTODIANS OF

01.01.2022 Americans wanted their war dead brought home from WW1. Their military leaders were against it. An American mother wrote: My son sacrificed his life to America...s call, and now you must as a duty of yours bring my son back to me. In October 1919, it was announced that the families of the war dead could choose to have the remains brought home or have them buried in military cemeteries in Europe. The French had a ban on the return of bodies, but in late 1920 they finally relented to lift that ban after American pressure to do so. In the next two years America recovered its war dead. The American war dead of WW1 started arriving home on July 10th 1921, with the remains of 7,264 in caskets stretching a quarter of a mile long on the pier at Hoboken, New Jersey. 46,000 war dead came home to be buried in America at the request of their families. 30,000 war dead were buried in military cemeteries in Europe. After WW2, America took six years to recover the remains of 280,000 of its war dead. Close to 80,000 were missing. Of the 280,000 American war dead, 171,539 were returned home to America at the request their families. In the Korean War, Americas war dead were taken from the front and returned home as hostilities continued. During the Vietnam War, the American war dead would often be home within a week. Today, American war dead are home within days.
