Hi,
You can find 3 pictures here:

You would have to sign up to be able to see them, but I'll post them here so you wouldn't need to sign up.
Take care,
Maarten

What intense and great photos. Imagine what Leonard's going to Israel must mean to him. Any idea who the blonde woman is? Can't help but wonder. Wonderful WONDERFUL photos of Leonard!
Thank you so much for posting these here for us, Maarten.

I had never seen these photos before. They are simply extraordinary. The look on Leonard's face, the setting. Priceless. Thank you so very much for posting them here.

Re: Help - photos of LC from the Yom Kippur war
Maarten, this is unbelievable - so far, no photo of LC in Sinai in 1973 was ever found or publicly shown!

Re: Help - photos of LC from the Yom Kippur war
Some scans of yesterday's issue of the Israeli newspaper "yediot Acharnot" (May 28), sent by Andy Jones (probably taken from eBay)
It has a story about Leonard in the 1973 war. The last picture is the cover of the newspaper!
Members in Isreael: I would very much like to have a hard copy of this newspaper. Will send you some LC item in trade (or cover your costs), please PM or email me.

Re: Help - photos of LC from the Yom Kippur war
This is really a great find.
The man standing next to LC in the top photo, holding a guitar, is the great Israeli musician Matti Caspi, who accompanied LC during the war. You can read about him in Wikipedia, where LC is also mentioned:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matti_Caspi
I’m not 100% sure, but I believe that the women standing next to them in that photo is Israeli singer Ilana Rovina, who was also on the same team of entertainers during the war.
Uri Dan, who is credited with taking the photos, was a well known Israeli journalist (he died in 2006), who was very close to Ariel Sharon.
More about LC’s experience in the Yom Kippur War was filed on the Files by Einat here:

Also by myself on this page:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7327&p=74630&hilit= ... evi#p74630
Thanks again to all involved in bringing us these photos, which to me bring back strongly the memories of those hard days.

Re: Help - photos of LC from the Yom Kippur war
Jarkko,
Just after filing my above post, I saw your post about the article in the Israeli newspaper. Since I’m in Japan, it might take a while for me to get that newspaper (it is not on the Internet), but I’ll do my best to get it and translate the article for the Files (if somebody else wouldn’t do it earlier).

Re: Help - photos of LC from the Yom Kippur war
I would also like a copy of this newspaper. If anyone can supply a hard copy I will pay costs or trade other LC material. Please email or PM me.Thankyou.
The photographer, Uri Dan, died a few days ago. Signed limited editions of these photos are now available to purchase on ebay:

Re: Help - photos of LC from the Yom Kippur war
Does any of you Israeli guys know whether the Leonard paper will still be easily obtainable for someone within the country so that I could ask an Israeli friend to get me one, too?
Thanks!
Thanks!
