Try this...
What Country?
Army or Navy of that country?
What job did the person who wore this uniform do?

That's a Soviet SU-26 self propelled artillery piece. They only made a handful of them.
They use this in the game World of Tanks but the gun has a guard around it in that game.

That uniform is American. But it's US Army. It's from the Spanish American War time-frame. The red trim identifies it as the uniform of an enlisted artilleryman.

One more thing before I go - Is that where the term redleg came from?
OK, now I gotta go...

I believe it's even further back than that, like to the American Revolutionary era when many artillerymen wore red leggings. I believe that's where the term "red leg" came from.

Darth -
You are correct sir!

That's actually an early American concept tank. I can't remember it's name but it was powered by recycled train steam engines.
You are correct sir!

Hmmm, I don't know. I believe the Parisians used some of these to move troops to the trenches!

No. I actually answered that one already...

This is the Flocken Elektrowagen. It was the very first electric car. It was made in Germany in 1888.
As for what you're thinking about, that's actually from the Battle of Marne when the French pressed Paris Taxis into service to move reinforcements to the front when it looked like the Germans were about to take Paris in 1914. The French even erected a monument to the Paris taxis...

Uh-unh....Nope. that's a SU-5
More a mortar than an artillery piece (OK, we can get into semantics here!)

You're correct. It is a Naval Jack. It's name is the Serapis flag or as some call it the "John Paul Jones Flag".

Not to hijack, but while the world was amazed by the first atom bomb was dropped 69 years ago today, America's greatest ace, Richard Bong, died in a P-80 crash as he was testing our first jet fighter.

Why did we get our best Ace to test a new fighter?
