Go Forth and Conquer

Pull on your boots and buckle your helmet, you're in for a show.

We post mostly WWII and WWI military photos, because that is my primary interest as well as being abundantly available, but we are always open to submissions and suggestions. Keep it historical, please.

Decade/time period, relevant war and government, and country are (nearly) always tagged. Photos will always be tagged in common abbreviations if possible (UK rather than United Kingdom, WWII instead of World War II), and in the singular (Nazi instead of Nazis).

Where we know the rank, regiment, or job of the person in uniform, it will also be tagged. Women in uniform are tagged 'women', colour photos are tagged 'colour', colourized photos are tagged 'colourized', and so forth. 'Casual' is for distinctly unofficial situations and/or people not wearing their full uniform. It should all be fairly intuitive and straightforward.

?? is the tag for photos about which we know nothing or next to nothing — if you can identify anything about these photos, we'd love it if you tell us what you know!

'Violence', 'execution', 'mass execution' and 'weapon' are also tags, in case you want to block them, but keep in mind that this is a military blog and as such there will be weapons that we do not tag — they will only be tagged when they are a central focus of the photo.

With all that said, browse the gallery, put forward your suggestions, and enjoy the uniforms.
