Did you notice what he has on his belt?
Shady,
Do you mean the picture of your Paratrooper?
If so, I did see that he's strapped to the carbine case but can't tell if it's empty.
Is that a jump case?

I saw one guy with an M-3. A BAR, and M-3 Grease Guns.
A lot of good photos to look through on this ebay auction. Even some planes for Harlan! - Bob

he's a great guy. He had nothing good to say about that unfortunate exercise. A jump into open country in broad daylight when the Germans knew they were coming. He said Axis Annie identified the units the night before they went in. I believe another of Montgomery's wonderful plans. Between Market Garden and this jump, he got a lot of valuable paratroopers killed for nothing. Worse, the US had already crossed the Rhine with Patton to the South and the capture of the bridge at Remagen, but Monty wanted HIS show.
My father went in with the 17th....in a glider. At different times he was in the 82nd, 101st and the 17th.
WOW! That is an outstanding photo.
