He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

For interesting reading on the subject of the maneuvers I recommend "The U.S. Army GHQ Maneuvers of 1941" by Christopher R. Gabel, 1991, Center of Military History U.S. Army, available from the Government Printing Office. Besides describing the maneuvers the author relates the doctrine and organization that was developed and was used during World War II.
The selected images were all reduced by about half to 1/3 their original scanned size and lost resolution. If you care to review the original scan of any of these PM me. The image of cavalry passing a BAR position at a road junction in Georgia is interesting because of the cartridge bandoleers around the horses necks.

Nope, just standing with their hands behind their backs...parade rest. They're a pontoon, they don't have tillers.

What I get for looking at the image after I reduced it.
Here's a detail of the first three pontoons, and the engineers are just standing, apparently at rest as the middle soldier appears to have his hands in his pockets. But no tillers. I mistook the anchor to be be something else.
