What's the rifle in the first picture on the left? It sure doesn't look like a M1. Maybe my old eyes are going bad.

[Bill Hollinger]

It's a Garand. Your looking at the bottom of it.

[Shake Rag]

See I told you my eyes were going bad. Thanks

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

May I add one to the mix.

[Bill Hollinger]

Looks like a couple of early rifles with flush nut sights. Carbine in the background too.

What about the 10' bayonet? Looks like M1 too, not 1905 E5 spear point. I would have thought it would be later in the war, "The Canal" was just about the first thing they did wasn't it? Very strange...

[Shake Rag]

Guadalcanal was used as a training/staging area later in the war. That would account for the equipment shown.

Good point, they didn't say when the pic was taken...
