Fort Belvoir! I was there from September of '69 to December of '70. Then off to Vietnam. From what little I can tell the guy cleaning his M-1 appears to have been in one of the very substantial barrracks I was in for awhile. The old wood framed barracks I was in after AIT didn't have steam heat. I wonder if those guys survived the war. Carl
The '42 rifles look brand new. The '43 gas cylinder is beginning to show a lot of wear.
