Title: Interesting picture from Gunboards
Post by butlersrangers on May 2^nd, 2018 at 4:34pm

This photograph was posted on Gunboards and was very likely taken in the Philippines.

The gentleman on the left has a Mauser carbine and cartridge belt. There are several things about him that do not look U.S. "GI" to me.

I like the unusual sling carry of the Sgt. It looks like his Stripes are pinned on.

Neat photograph, I'd like to see the original!
