WWII style .30 cal ammo can at 10:00 and at about 6:30, is that a hand granade :dunno:

Thanks Mark, Bill I don't think that is a granade. Shouldn't the AG be on the left of the LMG? Also the rifleman has a mounted bayonet:cheers:....Frank

[Bill Hollinger]

I think he is on the left. Look at his left hand, it looks like he is cupping the end of the belt. Are you sure that is not a granade?

[frankderrico]

Bill, your right. I turned my computer screen and got a much better view, yes I can see the AG feeding the belt. The pineaple looking thing could be a granade that someone dropped but looks to round to me. I'm just not sure....Frank:dunno:
