That is a great pic. You don't see many pics showing the early 2 QT canteen too.

I note some rather interesting combinations of color and subdued insignia here. I had always understood that the Army went subdued in '68 Army-wide. CLearly some people were wearing at least partially subdued (officer to left) in '67 while soldier in rear is still full color. Westy appears to have mixed.

 

Is that in fact a WW1 bolo? I thought the guards on those were all straight, or is this some other type?

Appears he's visting the 173rd Airborne Bde. That knife is probably some type of Randall fighting knife.

Great photo!
