ok, I'll sort out getting the larger scans on here. Thanks for your kind words Centaur.

Next set of pictures were all taken while driving down to Tibnin from Beirut last October 2008.

I know some of you historians will love these !

Welcome Calpo, all your LAF photos in the last 2 posts are a REPOST, please clear them up. Please also note that this thread is strictly for LAF (in some cases ISF) photos, and not to anything related to any others.
Looking forward to further contributions from you, and again, we are so glad to have you interested in the LAF and this thread.

No problem Zaher. Have removed all except a single pic for each post. I am going through all old pics and organizing scanning them of LAF from the 80's. Apologies for the above error as regards duplicate postings and the question reference the tank, it was just after seeing the responses here on previous questions, I figured out I'd get a quick answer, but point taken. One question, is there any group pictures of berets as worn by LAF, in different colours and with different badges.

If this can help you out

And if anybody is interested in infantry combat helmets used by the LAF throughout history here is the listing:

Adrian M.15 Steel Helmet
US M.1917 Steel Helmet
French M.45 Steel Helmet
French NATO M.51 Steel Helmet
US M-1 Steel Helmet
Israeli M.76/85 Orlite Helmet
South Korean M.76 Ballistic Plastic Helmet
Italian M.33 Steel Helmet
U.S. PASGT Kevlar Helmet

The last two are the most used today, allthough the israeli helmet is used by special forces.

Wait, now I remember something:P
We have agreed earlier that this is not a Lebanese one, or at least not a current badge.
I'm removing it..

The correct one is this

Hopefully One can scan it for us from his collection.
