    A piece of the cooler from Sagan..........(Of Course!!) as well as a piece of plate and a rusty ration tin.

    Several WW1 Bayonets, My Grandfather's regimental insignia & campaign medals.

    Fragments of runway from Ridgwell & Tempsford.

    A WW2 Hitler Youth Belt.

    AND my most special piece, a Confederate minie ball from Gettysburg!!

    I love to 'Touch the past!'

    You can always resize them using a resize program from the internet and then post them for us.

    once they are on photobucket , copy the image link , and paste it here. They usually accept large size pictures on that site.

    The thing with picture downloading is that you can only download from the internet , that's why you need a buffer zone like photobucket, but any other site will do.
    That's why you can paste directly pics from the internet but not from personnal computers (only indirectly, unless you go to a galery but then pics usually need to be resized)

    Hi Hilts,
    heres a few tips.
    Go to the picture on your computer you want to downsize. double click on it. At the top will be categories. FILE FIX INFO PRINT EMAIL BURN PAINT. Click on PAINT.
    Next click on IMAGE. Then RE-SIZE/SKEW.
    From here you can size the pics. I usually have to go 50 and 50 and then press return and then repeat, then save under whatever name you want. Then they are ready to upload.
    hope thats helpful mate. regards John

    meant to say, when the two top boxes have 50 and 50, do not use the bottom two boxes, merely repeat at the top two size percentage boxes.
