8 Oct 2021 Garand Picture of the Day - Okinawa, 27th Division

**Mark in Rochester** · 10-02-2021 10:28 PM

U.S. troops of the 105th Infantry Regiment, 27th Division, after throwing a smoke grenade into a cave to smoke out its occupants, stand outside with rifles ready for action. Troops of the 105th and 106th Infantry Regiments are driving north across Okinawa investigating every cave or shelter that may harbor Japanese soldiers or Okinawa natives.

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.

What sort of smoke/fumes did the smoke grenade give off?

Smoke...not noxious at all. We'd be immersed for ages in it. That's why I doubt the exactness of this description. Now tear gas on the other hand, that could clear a cave. WP was considered smoke grenades too, that also would do it.
