Google This - Images Of The Past

What is this?

This is an old forum game I picked up on an old forum I was on a year or so back, just simply with a historical twist. Also after a few weeks we should have a nice index of some good historical images.

How do I play?

Basically one person will ask for a picture of something historical, perhaps a person, technology, Hitlers old sock, whatever you want. Then the next poster will use the power of google (www.google.com) to track down that image before asking for an image themselves.

Example


I want a picture of a WW2 BREN gun.

I want a picture of Winston Churchill.

Gettit?
