From the LOC, I have a few questions about this image. I dont have the background on NY units, so thoes of you who know, please help me out. The question is in regard to the cartridge box(s). As it appears, nearly all of the soldiers in this image have 2 boxes attached to their belts. Now, I looked at the rifles and they all appear to be '42's. Does anyone know the sreasoning for this?
Also, I have attached a picture of a young fellow who is either wearing his cap backwards or the brim has come un attached. The reason I wonder the latter is that there appears to be brass attached to the frontward (facing) side.
Also, I have attached an image of another fellow who appears to be wearing a rain cover on his cap. he appears to be the only one. I just thought that was neat.
