Mostly interested in French colonial/African Army troops and units, the Marines, Legion, etc. between 1880s and 1960s.

Also, interest in Indian Army, both pre and post independence.

Yep, 3rd Brigade, during the transition between a mech unit and what eventually became the Stryker concept. I went round and round with TRADOC and people from the Pentagon every couple of weeks, along with contractors and various nations' militaries, testing Italian, German, Canadian and other vehicles before we settled on the LAV3 before the Strykers were anything but a blueprint. Didn't even have a name for them at that point...[huh]

I used to keep a copy of this in a frame and let people guess what kind of vehicle it was. It's a WW2 German tank at Aberdeen Proving Ground:
