Yes but where and when? They're in fighting order and cold weather gear and one man has frag apparent...I thought maybe Germany but the frag would be out of place.
Korea
Sure, of course. No matter when it was still a war zone...and could spark up any time. Thus the frag.
Ridgeway caps :)
I am surprised they are using mess tray in a field environment. Usually it's the old mess kit. I figure the photo is from the late 50's to early 60's based on the head gear and uniform patches and name tapes.
The M14s place it squarely within 1959 to 1964 don't they...Quote:

Come to think of it, I saw the brow party on board the USS Alamo close up with four plus other weapons back in ...'78 I think it was...I'd think they were out of service for infantry though.
My Army National Guard unit had them for about a year in the mid-70's before switching to the M16A1.Quote:
