[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2528314, member: 7157"] Where did that picture come from? The pack at the upper left looks like a parachute, which would've been ditched upon landing. The bayonet is the 16" version from early on in WW2, and would have been traded in for a 10" version by 1944. The M1911 was carried mainly by officers, I think, who wouldn't be carrying a radio under normal conditions. And the radio itself is the small SCR-536 used on the squad level; often the backpack SCR-300 was used on the company and battalion level, like this one carried by a Marine radioman in Saipan: [b][Broken External Image][/b] [/QUOTE]
