Across the pond somewhere around the 38th parallel???

It kills me seeing all these photos of soldiers with just helmet liners being worn. Most in these shots have the whole shebang on but the radioman doesn't. Is he using a compass???

No arguement about bayonet lugs and thirty rounders in this pic.

Bill,
Looks like the radio handset to me.

Ah, sure is the hand set.

IS that a PRC 10 set? I'm Canadian and I never saw those sets. I saw the 106, 25,77,125,46...but not that one.

[Bill Hollinger]

I don't believe it is a PRC 10. this one looks like it has some kind of switch cover. And, I think the PRC 10 is narrower than this on pictured.
