Something i found in a old WW2 era train carriage being restored
As a very keen photographer i spotted this old train carriage in the train yards. It was being restored. I couldn’t help myself and go inside for a look. While looking around i pulled a mirror back and found this little note written by a soldier as these carriages were used to transport troops off to Fremantle so they could head overseas to fight.
I know its nothing to interesting but i thought i would share....

In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig. CE

3rd row: England -//- -//- 876 -//-
4th row: 50% of our pilots saved
5th row: London is being bombed nightly
Am I correct?
Those fans are collectables. You should secure it and place it in your collection room. It will look great in a 40-45 display
Edit: I missed the "being restored" bit.
WOW!! After all these years.
Thanks for sharing this.

I specialize in M1 carbines and Lugers.
Vey nice to see this, but those figures for the Luftwaffe losses in 1940 seem wildly optimistic!
Marc, I just wanted to say your photo of the carriage is fantastic! I'm very much into urban decay photography, and the monochrome look. Great shot.
