Picture of the day

FUGAWI has it: definitely Berdan I. The cocking-piece is most distinctive.

Former WaSS fellow I worked with, once upon a time, said that he saw some really old, big rifles when they were there, '42 - '43, things with bores the size of a sewer-pipe. Sounds Berdannish enough to me: .42" bore.

"Italian Resistance" weren't they called the "Army"?

Cool photo. Looks like the Russian Front in the spring by the looks of those M42's with chipped off winter camo.

Sniper with his support group? I like the periscope thing...it would be a good thing to be able to keep your head down when they're shooting back at you!

Here is a photo of my Father.
August 1943
He is in command of the Canadian contingent, and C.O. of the Regiment de Hull.
The landing is taking place on the island of Kiska.
Note the mixture of Canadian and American gear.
He is carrying a M1 Carbine, and a 1911 in a shoulder holster under his left arm.

I'm assuming this is Alaska. What was the name of the Island that Japan invaded? I watched a bit of a documentary on that battle a few weeks ago. Marines were poorly equiped to fight up North...kinda like the Canadian Military currently...

That has to be pacific theatre. I can readily see:

- M1 Garand
- M1903 springfield (two of them)
- M1903A3 springfield
- M1903A4 sniper with Weaver 330C scope.

Third photo from the top proves what I'd always read about the Japanese bayoneting Chinese prisoners for "practice"
