Looking for a picture I once saw

Here is a picture of The Lieutenant Blankenship 84th Infantry Division and Lieutenant Lucas 11th Armored Division during the battle of the Bulge. Notice Lucas has a pistol belt on with 3 carbine mag pouches on it. I would bet there is a 4th on the side we can't see and one on the stock of his carbine (not shown). He is obviously a line officer who uses his weapon, as evidenced by the plenitude of magazines!

In "The M1 Garand" by Tom Laemlein (Volume Two of the Classic American Small Arms at War), page 12, picture number 8, is a shot of a soldier with an M1 Garand. Caption reads "A rifleman of the 10th Mountain Division takes aim with his M1 with bayonet attached, Italy, 1944." Clearly shown are three Carbine belt pouches on his web belt being used to carry what appears to be the clips for the Garand.

I have seen pictures of the carbine pouch being used for Garand also. In this pic, though, you can see Lucas has carbine mags in them.

They are carbine mags, they are for the carbine he has over his shoulder.....Frank
