I thought my heart would break at some of these beautiful old photos The mass burial at sea in particular Thankyou for the chance to see them Jenny Guernsey 🇬🇬 ♥ ❤

The makeshift hospital in Nam hit home for me. Even though I was stationed at Chu Lai 68-69 1st MAW, I was very thankful that I wasn’t out in the boonies and thought a lot about what was going on outside our base.

Yes the Sea Burial makes you realise how hard it must have been for the loved ones who would never have a place to mourn. The sacrifice made by some so that we could be here today to see these pictures. On a lighter note however. Tolkien was a very lucky man.

The giant Studebaker, as is often the case with these sort of things, was a publicity stunt for promo and advertising.... Here's some more of the backstory "The giant Studebaker was built by a group of sixty employees at the Studebaker Experimental Body Department located in South Bend, Indiana. The massive size Studebaker took over three months to build and was generated by Mr. Paul Auman and his creative craftsmen design team. The total length of the car was 41 feet long with a wheelbase of 325 inches. It was 13 ½ feet high, 15 feet wide, and weight 5 ½ tons. The steering wheel was 44 inches in diameter and the oval shaped headlights were 33 ½ inches of size. The wire wheels were the most abundant to make for each one was 6 feet and 8 inches in diameter, weighing 600lbs each. The Firestone Tire Company supplied the enormous tires for the project and replicated the original Studebaker tires. The massive Studebaker model was built of wood and was shaped and assembled on the test track of the Indiana Proving Grounds. The model was painted in two shades of green, which at the time, was a popular color for Studebaker models. To advertise the giant Studebaker model, a nine minute film was created. The film clip was used as a filler for the movie Wild Flowers directed by Mr. Alf Goulding. The film was also used for publicity reasons and had played extensively in RKO theaters coast to coast for movie goers in which many consumers thoroughly enjoyed generating a great deal of publicity. The Daily Review and Motion Pictures stated, “One of the cleverest, if not the best, advertising reel we have ever seen is the one produced on behalf of the Studebaker automobile. It brings in the Studebaker Champions, so well-known to radio audiences and they used a giant motor car as the stage for their entrainment”. The Studebaker Company also used the model for other advertising promotions and tourist attractions. Many groups of dealers and salesmen posed for photographs by the large size Studebaker for added publicity shots."

@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos Oh! thank you very for taking the time🙂. That was thorough... The ''advertising'' thing never occurred to me as an explanation. My father had bought a Studebaker in the early '60s, not the same model of course, but so much more ''modern'' than the Pontiac of the '50s we'd had previously :-) Thank you again
