      <![CDATA[<p>Which, being full of <b><a href="http://www.fototime.com/8799228450FB086/standard.jpg">guns</a></b>, with grounds full of <b><a href="http://www.fototime.com/D84F8AEAEF26E85/standard.jpg">artillery</a></b> and <b><a href="http://www.fototime.com/0D9F89EC214F4E8/standard.jpg">tanks</a></b>, is one of the Armorers favorite places to visit.  The Armorer doesn't want to move here, but he does like visiting!</p>

<p>In the rotating exhibit section, to the right of the entrance, there are some OIF and OEF exhibits.  Saddam's <b><a href="http://www.fototime.com/3FFAA3E3E5D1942/standard.jpg">hunting rifle</a></b> and <b><a href="http://www.fototime.com/8C483E182F69383/standard.jpg">ceremonial sword</a></b> are in great company.  The collection of the Infantry museum holds other relics of tyranny, such as <b><a href="http://www.fototime.com/AE7EA98FD744D4B/standard.jpg">Himmler's hunting guns</a></b> and <b><a href="http://www.fototime.com/B6CF16E76D115C3/standard.jpg">Goering's marshall's baton</a></b>.  </p>

<p>American infantry have thrown down numerous tyrants in their day.  Assisting and assisted by their brother Anglosphere infantry, I would hasten to add.  And, now and again, French infantry, when their government allows it.  Ably assisting in this effort, and acknowledged by the museum, are their fellow-travelers, the <b><a href="http://www.fototime.com/55B5A6BC2439BCA/standard.jpg">Artillery</a></b> and <b><a href="http://www.fototime.com/07EB308BC5F06B1/standard.jpg">Armor</a></b>.</p>

<p>The museum contains <b><a href="http://www.fototime.com/15230153593EC59/standard.jpg">furniture the Armorer would like</a></b> to have.  Especially <b><a href="http://www.fototime.com/8856B90CE0C2202/standard.jpg">this piece for the living room.</a></b>  She Who Will Be Obeyed will allow it becaue it has a lot of nice brass in it.</p>

<p>And boy is the museum full of interesting little tidbits.  Two <b><a href="http://www.fototime.com/C0B7AED09E2D2D4/standard.jpg">Davy Crocketts</a></b>.  Several items the Armorer would like <b><a href="http://www.fototime.com/0BAA054E034B07A/standard.jpg">to add to the Funny Hat collection</a></b>.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.fototime.com/BDCFC81056651F1/standard.jpg"><b>Developmental</b></a>. <b><a href="http://www.fototime.com/AD7D2301B971F4D/standard.jpg">rifles</a></b>. <b><a href="http://www.fototime.com/169CD42BB353BDD/standard.jpg">all</a></b>. <b><a href="http://www.fototime.com/CDE264F781A3FF6/standard.jpg">over</a></b>.</p>

<p>There's even <b><a href="http://www.fototime.com/97352C75BC5A763/standard.jpg">a train</a></b>!</p>

<p>If you are ever in Columbus, go visit Ft. Benning.  See the Airborne School - and above all, visit the National Infantry Museum!</p>]]>

        I missed that one in all the years I&apos;ve spent over there.  Have to add that to the list, along with revisiting the Heeresgesichtliches Museum in Vienna, and Tankograd in Russia.  

Hmmmm.  Post fodder.  Great military museums I have seen... and poll the readership for the ones I&apos;ve missed...

        I guess I&apos;ll have to visit Columbus one day. 

In my opinion the museum in Erlbach, Luxemburg is the best war museum ever. Erlbach changed hands multiple times during WW2, and they just have more stuff than they know what to do with. However, your pictures from the National Infantry Museum have sure whetted my appetite. 

I just found your blog. I&apos;ll be sure to check back often. Keep up the good work

        That&apos;s a WW1 trench locomotive. Gauge was 60cm, nominally 2 foot. I have scale drawings of a lot of that equipment. In the popular military modeling scale of 1/35th, HO gauge track and components work out well.
