Mike, I think the Pacific '45 to '46 would probably be the time frame for the carbine pic. with the t-2 or t-3 rear sight. Also looks like pretty tough living conditions out there. I have three uncles and my father in law that were there about the same time. We all have to be very proud of that generation for their service and sacrifice. We also need to preserve all we can of their history, as you are doing. Thanks again for sharing.....Frank
