Sorry, I don't have a scanner. So I guess you'll have to go to Barnes and Noble or Borders or something and check it out, unless someone else can post it.

I took another look at the photo....it's the last photo in the book, a couple of pages from the back. The guy in question is surrounded by others with the late-type Griswold bag, the type that allows an assembled M1 Garand to be put inside. Next to those bags, his bag looks quite large...it's rectangular the whole way (i.e, one end is not narrower than the other), and he's plainly wearing the BAR ammo belt around his waist.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Rob-- appreciate your assistance and I will attempt to locate the book. Piper Hobby Shop did not have it, but next week I go to GrandDad's for my my annual Christmas buy. By the way, I just ordered the Walk Around book for the M2/M3 Half Track from Squadron for half the cost of my local guy. They have some nice sales going on.

Hi Guys,
Talking about Mohawk haircuts, In the Timelife Book "Across the Rhine" there are photos of 17th AB troopers receiving Mohawk haircuts, The photo was taken by Robert Capa.
