History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

NOTE:
You may click any picture in this blog to view it on its' own screen.

Audie Murphy


Photo to the right shows Audie Murphy, a much decorated American soldier who served in the European theatre during World War II. Murphy went on to become one of the most highly decorated United States soldiers during World War II, with his awards including the Medal of Honor, and the Distinguished Service Cross. After the war, he successfully pursued an acting career. On May 28, 1971 Audie Murphy died in a plane crash just outside of Roanoke, Virginia at the young age of 47.
