I notice they don't have gloves on even though it is winter
Nothing like touching freezing metal with bare hands. However it could be the adrenaline is pumping as in an anticipated action. Ray
Don't see any winter triggers.

How did they get a post war carrying handle back onto a '43 BAR ?
:dunno:

Must be January of 1953 as the T4 carry handle wasn't adopted until December 1944.
And believed never made it to the field . At least , last I heard , there was no photographic proof of it being out there . There was one picture so claimed , but uniform details led it to be post war training picture.Quote:
