Just an observation, but the 15th guys sure look sloppy carrying some of their MkIII's butt-up and others barrel-up.....

I suppose, but trench duty wasn't garrison duty, and I'm sure the officers had other things on their mind, as did the troopers.

Hard to believe, now, that there are none of them left.
