  1. I am going have to my navy books to this side of the (home) office.

    But that is a picture of German gunboat on either Lake Tanganyika or Lake Victoria.

  2. I'd say French Indo China, post WWII.

  3. Of course it is a River monitor. Steve, look at the gun mount. That is a light tank turret.

  4. Chuck,

    Yeah, either a light tank turret or one from an early medium tank. My immediate impression is that it's most likely Romanian or Russian.

  5. Hello,

    Chuck Hill has it.
    It is a French river monitor in Indo-China,early 1950s.
    If you look closely you can see the French uniforms.

    The turret mantlet looks vaugely British.

    Now,steve has given me an idea for a future post.
