Nice clear portrait-like pics... The top pic, rifleman has two boxes in front to get his elbow up a bit over the berm...what are they? Not Reeves cans, mortar bombs?
Must be England
The boxes look like mortar bomb cans.
These pics must be pre-D-Day exercise shots, pants have pressed creases, the guys are too clean.
Would the have live ammo on training exercises?
We did lots and lots of live fire training exercises. Lots...specially just before going on operations, you HAVE to do lots of danger close and live fire indoctrination...that's the last thing before going over, no more blank...Quote:
