12-248 Garand Picture of the day - Army Maneuvers

[Sarge1998]

I think I see the cocking handle on the forward "Lefty " Garand.

Blowing up that photo I still can't be positive.

Further review I'd tend to agree the photo is reversed, no canteen visible on the left. Also looks like the denim guys are the Op Force, picture 3 shows another gas trap and a 1903, these pre-war Garand photo's show the SS gas cylinder quite well, they hadn't had the molten dichromate black finish perfected yet.
