I wonder if those Germans besieged in Brest have any idea how many hundred miles they are behind the Allied lines?

I'm always interested in the question of what information is known, by whom, in these situations. I first realized this was an important point when I learned that the War of 1812 was already over when we won the Battle of New Orleans.

The fog of war is very real and is not just an expression. It is really hard to coordinate the movements of men and vehicles over a wide space. Heck, there were times when we were on peacetime maneuvers that I had a hard time figuring out what was going on and keeping my men going in the right direction.

A clean version of the FFI women was just posted to my Facebook link. The trinkets are more visible in this one.

The two in the middle might be sisters: same lantern jaw.

0 grenades >>> single?

1 grenade >>> engaged?

2 grenades >>> married?

I think the one with no grenades, at the left, looks older than the others, so maybe she’s married.

I defer happily to your superior judgment in matters female.

Not quite sure about those white shoes on the one on the right, though. Disguise?

Fashiony! Maybe an American soldier picked them up in Italy and then gave them to her.

I knew that, which is why I deferred to you regarding female issues. I've seen your photos of you and your lovely children on your home-page.

I could have cribbed that whole family from stock photos.
