And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

How many times do we have to tell Floyd not to put his finger in the light socket?
Ethiopian patriot soldier, 1941 This a picture of war hero Ebeneser Lembe who was renowned in Ethiopia for his tactics and skills as a marksman. He was also known as Genchuka Belik meaning Gator Skin in Ethiopian, Because he has been shot many times and managed to survive
I know it's kind of funny but looking at his attire and then looking into those eyes, I think he's seen things.
ReplyDeleteIdentify the ordnance. Looks like a Mauser action of some kind.
ReplyDeleteI would agree. Flag safety and recoil lug say Mauser but what’s with the Mannlicher style clips in his belt?
DeleteCould have scavenged some ammo off the DBs on the battlefield. He has that look about him. Battle hardened.
DeleteThe gent is about 4' 10" check out the size of that 98 compared to him.
DeleteHis hair maybe a bit on the wild side....but that is one stone cold man who has seen and done things.

ReplyDeleteThanks for that. I was just going to bet that he was Ethiopian, fighting the Italians, but I didn't know how to confirm it.
