Operation Varsity
Is that a shotgun he has slung?
I think it's a rifle, he has a bandoleer there as well. I don't recall seeing any Paratroops in France with shotguns...in any photo to date. But he has no buttstock on the M1 T-Gun, you couldn't hide that under the sleeve.
Could be the wooden stock for the Thompson as it looks like it may be removed from the gun, Ray
You can just make out the Garand muzzle sticking out by the Field Dressing on his helmet
Regarding the stock slung around the back of the closest para, the sling buckle looks to be a Kerr type.
Yes it is...Quote:
