I see it.
My daughters got together and bought me a WWII USMC Bolo Knife. It is the one that the Corpsman carried. Photo as soon as I take a picture.

I was looking at the picture and I am pretty sure that there is a shovel on the back of the knapsack.
The one with the wine is smiling.
That is a great looking Sharps! You were fortunate to find one in as good condition as it is. I have a Reproduction Pedersoli 1859 Sharps. Some day I will try an find me an original Sharps ...
I don't see the driver. :p

Merrill's Marauders, yes. From I have been told my Father's brother was with them. My Father was in the Navy from 1926 till 1956.
Has his pack of Lucky Strikes there also.
I managed to get a Rucksack and it looks like it was never issued. They are nice looking.
