Brussels Military History Museum - part 2

Back in Brussels, the next door took us into the Great War hall.  Probably my favourite bit of the museum.

The photos are again a rather random jumble - something to do with being taken on an iPhone and transferred to PC via Onedrive. 

German helmets and caps.  Rather a lot of them!

Surely they won't miss this one little gun?
Lots more artillery!
The fabulous (replica) Minerva armoured car
Whippet tank
Beautiful camo painting!

Lots of uniforms too.  Just like my 1/32 Bersaglieri
French 37mm trench gun
The Whippet again -  clearly rather broken.

And of course, similarly suspended but less dusty than most Airfix versions - a Fokker triplane!

Italian Alpini
The French 37mm gun again





Nice little Renault FT-17




French Chasseurs Alpins.  You have to love a big floppy beret.
Belgian infantry.

    Very envious of the little boy in a fabulous toy shop ;)
