When your life expectancy is 4 minutes but you fancy a 70-year career instead - meet 'Woody' Williams, one of only 20 surviving flamethrower operators of 300 from Iwo Jima. Warlord's September Soldier of Fortune heats the grill https://l.d20.ninja/5n8at88t #BoltAction #PacificTheatre #bbq #fire #ww2

A detailed miniature of a U.S. soldier, Hershel W. 'Woody' Williams, is depicted in action, equipped with a flamethrower on his back and wearing a helmet and military uniform. He is positioned on a textured base that resembles a battlefield, with a backdrop of flames and smoke suggesting a combat environment. The scene captures the intensity of the Pacific theatre during World War II.

New book on #WWII by Lyn Poyer:
"#War at the Margins: #Indigenous Experiences of World War II".

Today I learned this book had come out and immediately bought a physical copy—before realizing it's also #OpenAccess.

Will be interesting in general, but I'm particularly interested in what there is on New Britain, #infrastructure and logistics.

#PacificTheatre art is wonderfully diverse in both themes and quality. it's one of the few cases I can think of where derivative works very regularly stand delightfully on their own without shame. https://shigusegubu.club/media/2bf53a38-63af-4a12-bf50-41e42f3270c2/Tusky_1520151609624_GBZYG6IH5N.jpg
