Found this fascinating video posted over on the CMP forum, full color movie clip, from Iowa Jima, showing a small arm ordnance supply depot, at the beginning showing a guy going through piles of beat-up Garands. Enjoy!

It's already posted here.
Just noticed that, Jim, thanks, but don't you think it deserves a permanent home here in the "Picture of the Day" topic?
It's easy to forget, but as Ernie Pile reminded us, each of these small arms most likely represented a casualty. Pretty stark.
