    Great Pic

    Great great pic this just shows the mix of early and late items still in use at the very late stage of the war.....M41 Parsons Jackets....mixed with M43 jackets and M43 field caps.....Tankers Jackets

    M1icon carbines with M8 grenade launchers and M1928 TSMG still with Cutts Compensators and M1 garands with and without M7 launchers.

    Just goes to show that in theatre nothing was as per the T and OE

    Regards

    Lloyd

    Very curb side friendly arms store

    I think I enjoy this photo more than any other posted this Fall.

    Reminds me of a curb side "C" store. Need a new rifle?

    Step right up and try one out......

    Up the road and get a warm welcome or volley ?

    I'm with you, womack....

    Being in the wrong suit of clothes would change ones thoughts about continuing the journey up the road....
