    4 Dec 2020 Garand Picture of the Day



    Members of the shortly lived 473rd Infantry Regiment enter Massa, Italy. '10 April 45. Fifth Army, Massa, Italy. 'E' & 'F' Companies of 2nd Battalion, 473 Infantry Regiment, skirt Western edge of Massa as the rest of the Battalion move onto the heart of town.

    The 473d Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment of the United Statesicon Army that served on the Italianicon Front during World War II. It was created on 14 January 1945 from existing anti-aircraft units that were no longer needed to defend against enemy aircraft. It was raised from the Headquarters Company, 2d Armored Group and the 434th, 435th, 532d and 900th Antiaircraft Artillery Automatic Weapons battalions.

    Most of the elements of the 473d had been parts of Task Force 45. This was a division-sized unit built around the U.S. 45th Antiaircraft Artillery Brigade with attached Britishicon, Brazilianicon, and Italian elements. The 473d Infantry, a white unit, was assigned for some time to the black 92d Infantry Division starting from 24 February 1945 until 17 May 1945. It was used to replace the black 365th Infantry Regiment, which was reassigned to U.S. IV Corps.

    In August 1945 it was deactivated in Italy.

    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.

    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.
