I know that the Ka-Bar sheath could be slipped over the pistol belt for Marines who were issued a carbine, pistol, or crew-served weapon, but how did a WWII Marine rifleman who was issued a Springfield or Garandicon carry his Ka-Bar sheath on the M1923 cartridge belt? I can't see how the sheath could be slipped over the ammo pockets; also, there doesn't seem to be enough space between the pockets for the belt loop of the sheath.

I know that some Marines carried Ka-Bars in Vietnam strapped or taped to the vertical suspenders of their web gear, but I've never seen this in WWII photos.

All information appreciated.
