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.

What's the rifle in the first picture on the left? It sure doesn't look like a M1
. Maybe my old eyes are going bad.

It's a Garand. Your looking at the bottom of it.

Looks like a couple of early rifles with flush nut sights. Carbine in the background too.

What about the 10' bayonet? Looks like M1 too, not 1905 E5 spear point. I would have thought it would be later in the war, "The Canal" was just about the first thing they did wasn't it? Very strange...

Guadalcanal was used as a training/staging area later in the war. That would account for the equipment shown.
