The Denison smock wearer (also wears what look to be British icon

Army boots and gaiters) could be a Free French icon

or Belgian forces translator attached to one of the American units.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Paul he COULD be that...but i think he is wearing thick white woolen socks and US Overboots (Galoshes) with the over centre metal snap closures...he is definatley one "individual" amongst standard M43 uniform equipped troopers....this could be as the 17th was trucked into action and didnt jump into the Ardennes US counter offensive.
