    The recoiless rifle photo

    is from the 17th AB at the 1945 Rhine crossing. At least that's what I recall seeing.

    Thanks Jim and DaveHH.

    Here are a few more photos...not great.
    It would be good to know where they came from.
    There must be a source of these photos somewhere.

    A few more photos....hard to find them.

    A training photo...I think.



    M1A1icon stock folded in this photo.



    This does not show an M1A1 carbine, but it does show an ammunition bondolier worn by the fellow leaning against the wall. They look like they could be M1 magazines in the bondolier. It also shows a stock magazine pouch on the M1 carbine.

    Doesn't that stock look dried out, and doesn't it look like the guy on the left is chewing tobacco?
