Ok, these guys went to war with more then 5 rounds.
It only lists 1 pair of socks as well. Do you think guys lived in trenches for 1 year with only one pair of socks?
I am proud supporter of the: Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, Firefighters, Paramedics, Border Control
Basically, if your put your life in danger to better this country, you have my respect.
It says 5 round clip but the Garand uses 8 round clips. It's either made up or just calculated as cost per round. The 03 Springfield would be a better match for those clips
At least everyone got a rifle, and ammo, the Russians would give a rifle to every other soldier, a few minutes into a battle if you were not given one there would be one to pick up.
A lot of money back then. I have my granddad's pay book. He was paid $1.30 a day in 1943 and it was bumped up to $1.75 a day in 1945.

The text specifies a Springfield (ie. an M1903) rifle, yet the photo shows a (Rifle, .30 Cal, M1) Garand ??....
