aerialbridge Posted February 9 Share #572 Posted February 9 #555 is a cool photo, with the focal point Col. Klink's captured MBZ 230 staff car transformed into an American ambulance or medical vehicle, complete with non-stenciled red cross, "US" and Army VIN. Wonder if that was post VE Day and if Schultz came with the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but is that a M1917 helmet I see? mikie Here are Marines about to ship out to Guadal Canal. Notice the mixture of 1917A1’s and M1’s. At that stage I guess they didn’t have enough to go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
