Don't most of those guys look pretty old? No rank insignia either. Is that odd?

[noslack 327]

The guy with the binos may be a officer he has a pistol mag pouch on his belt.

[Bill Hollinger]

That's John Wayne!!! Look at him! He just has to be the officer, he has a mild case of front butt

[U.S.G.I.]

All three soldiers in front have binoculars.

Fall/winter of '44? They're wearing gloves and some have wool covers beneath their helmets.

Those guys look a bit tired...but the shiniest thing are those frogs on the sling. I guess if they are expecting trouble, the frogs would be facing the dirt anyway so no glint for a target.

Most likely not a combat zone, no one has their anything in the ammo belts.

[Tim]

They look like reenactors.

[Bill Hollinger]

They kind of do, don't they? Tim, good one.
