Brazilian soldiers celebrate the Brazilian Independence Day in Italy during World War II, September 1944

They had a really hard time. I know those mountains well. Tough job!

Lots of different goodies in that picture. Guy on lower right maybe laying next to a weapon with a Bipod?
Any ideas what the short tube upper center is? Probably simple, but I'm drawing a blank!

A Thompson, a Garand up front, a BAR on the lower right, mostly 03's, and lots and lots of rifle grenades. It appears they really liked rifle grenades. The tube thing escapes me as it's to big to be a mortar round. Maybe some sort of optical device.
