    Black Soldier on okinawa with a bayonet lugged carbine

    Youtube Combat bulletin 58 at 21.15 minutes you can clearly see the bayonet lugged carbine the soldier is carrying in the back of the jeep.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Good catch, Buzz! The adjustable rear sight is there, too. I think what everyone has been looking for are pics showing these in use in the ETO. Keep looking! - Bob

    I have shown that picture several time in the past. The jeep was being pushed out of the mud by the dozer in the background. I agree; the picture clearly shows a bayonet lug on that carbine.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

    Just curious, why "Black Soldier ..."; instead of "Bayonet lugged carbine Okinawa"?

    I didn't take it as anything racial, I just took it as who to look for in the video to see the bayonet lug on a carbine.PC culture is killing everything

    Considering the military wasn't officially desegregated until 1948, this soldier's race could definitely be considered a historically significant detail.

    That's the way I took it.

    Officials have asked the public to Be on the look out for two suspects who committed a home invasion earlier today. In other news...

    I wondered how long it would take... Yes, race rather narrowed the field "back in the day". Today? It gets one a slap on the wrist, or a DOX, or much worse. Ahhh, the "wonderful" world of PC!
