Nine O Nine Posted September 14, 2013 Share #26 Posted September 14, 2013 Last one i've found so far, not a BAR Man but still a yoke being used by a non medic.From the First US Army memorial Army published by Heimdal 1st LT W Shreve of the 79th ID preparing for a night patrol on the 18th of July in the Lessay sector.

Johan Willaert Posted September 14, 2013 Share #27 Posted September 14, 2013 Close up of the BAR Gunner. 79th ID 2.JPG It's not a medic harness but rather a cut down M1928 Doughboy pack... This is an oddity that is sometimes encountered on WW2 pictures... I guess next events we will see a lot of these... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted September 14, 2013 Share #28 Posted September 14, 2013 how about a clear photo of just the harness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine O Nine Posted September 14, 2013 Share #29 Posted September 14, 2013 Of course I can see it now, saw the d ring style attachment and immediately thought yoke didn't think for a minute it could be a cut down doughboy. Thanks Johan. Just the one ETO picture then Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted September 14, 2013 Share #30 Posted September 14, 2013 how about a clear photo of just the harness? These are taken from the Medical Catalog. None are exactly perfect for this discussion but the group together will give a pretty good idea what you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
