    16 April 2025 Garand Picture of the Day



    Sergeant Wedei Huizen, of the Netherlands detachment of the UN forces in Korea, in position to return sniper fire.
    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.

    Dutch M1C

    Sgt Huizen appears to be utilizing a M1C, a M81 or M82 scope, and a milled (thick) base M2 flash hider (Springfield or Hart) Garandicon.

    A quick search indicated the picture was taken in Jan 52. A overview of the Dutch participation can be viewed here:
