He'd be floored to find out what all that cockarocka would bring today in US green.

[Ovidio]

Almost through the mayhem...

[Flying10uk]

He looks to have a rather large hanky in his left pocket or else it too is full of booty.

[oldfoneguy]

His canteen is missing and there's a safety pin on the cover. I wonder what's in there. He also has his web sling on upside-down.

[browningautorifle]

There's two short blades and the sword, if you look under his cartridge belt you see the pair of chapes sticking down. Can't make out the other one. First contact up the road will lighten the load. Can't do fire and movement with that stuff..

[CINDERS]

He'd be fighting the seagulls all the time that would be circling hoping to catch him off guard then relieve him from his booty.
Mind you he is a Sgt so may not be in ones best interests unless your higher ranked, reminds me of "Wild Eye" from WWI a souvenir hunter with scads of collectibles gained at the front.

Posed?

[browningautorifle]

Posed?

Probably.
