Talk:Persian Corridor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ok, it's decent so far, but...

  • We need more images -- soldiers posing, trucks driving across the plateau, trains chugging, stevedores unloading ships -- that kind of thing. I'm going to see if my grandma has any pictures that my great uncle took while he was serving there. And maybe the gentleman who posted all of that stuff from Bandar Shahpur at his website will allow us to use a few of his images.
  • We need articles for some of the cities mentioned, and for some of the personalities. There are too many dead links here. If you can help out with any of them, please do.
  • We need more on the Soviet (Russians et. al.) perspective, info about Anders's army and the Polish refugees, more information on how this massive buildup affected Iranian society -- positive/negative aspects, and info about the British command.
  • Maps of the routes. Not only are the maps on the "Lend Lease Trucks" website copyrighted, but they also use too many unconventional spellings and have too many topographic and not enough political features. I've been trying to make my own but they appear very crude. Any graphic artists here able to pitch-in?

Update: Well, I've added some pictures of trains chugging and trucks driving, at least. --Jpbrenna 04:45, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
