Soldiers with 120th Infantry Regiment, 30th Infantry Division enjoy Christmas care packages sent from home, December 1944.

The 30th Infantry Division (nicknamed Old Hickory in WWI) landed at Omaha Beach on Jun. 10, 1944, and entered combat five days later. The division took part in every major campaign in the Europe's western front: Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes – Alsace and Central Europe.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Great picture! A long ways from home for Christmas that's for sure!
The guy on the left has a Thompson shouldered, but what is the weapon he and the M1 icon

are leaning against ??
Looks like some kind of artillery rounds lower right, maybe ?

Because of the lack of concern for the exposed ammo lying in the mud, I'm thinking it's a captured enemy 37mm? That's what the ammo makes me think of.
