Would not want to carry or stand next to zippo

Does the second man from the right have a shotgun?

[Bill Hollinger]

It sure does look like it Jim.

[browningautorifle]

You see lots of them coming ashore but seldom a bayonet fixed.

[Cosine26]

Looks as if they have the original 16 inch bayonets. Early in War?

I think it actually took the USMC a while to get the blades changed to 10"...
