First INf Div From Wikipedia
The division laid siege to Aachen, taking the city after a direct assault on October 21, 1944.[2] The First then attacked east of Aachen through Hurtgen Forest, driving to the Roer, and moved to a rest area December 7, 1944 for its first real rest in 6 months' combat, when the Wacht Am Rhein offensive (commonly called the Battle of the Bulge) suddenly broke loose on December 16, 1944.[2] The division raced to the Ardennes, and fighting continuously from December 17, 1944 to January 28, 1945, helped blunt and turn back the German offensive. Thereupon, the division attacked and again breached the Siegfried Line, fought across the Roer, February 23, 1945, and drove on to the Rhine, crossing at the Remagen bridgehead

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.

Sometimes it just feels good to lay down, no matter where you are.

It looks like his circumstances are such that having his sling on backwards is not of great concern. The loose grenade would need to be policed up. But then, maybe he just put it where he could find it in a hurry. JMHO. Sincerely. BruceV.
