Finally had a nice sunny day here. Perfect for taking pictures of my latest display. The mule is still lacking some of the harness parts, but I'm looking for them.
M1917 ammunition cart with a 1933 dated M1 Wheeled Machinegun Mount limbered to it. This is correct for the mid 1930's until the beginning of WW2.

Another great looking rig, Robin.

 

Here are some pre-war 1st Infantry Division machine gunners with your cart and gun.

As usual, excellent display and nearly impossible to find items. It does remind me a bit of some of the equipment we used in the warehousing industry though;

"But where does the operator sit?" Again, great display, thanks Robin.

Brian, the horse shoe nails that I got from you are in this carts tool kit. Thanks!

Robin, Great display.  Thanks for sharing.

The box actually feeding the MG is rarer--harder to obtain--than all the others together.

You're very welcome Robin, promised you that I'd post it when I came across it again, only took about a dozen years since you requested it...

Aloha Robin,

 

You'll find these scans interesting, (8) Ammo Carts in their ready storage building at Schofield Barracks, with tack for eight mules

Excellent photo! Most interesting are the two RL-16 Reel Carts at far right and the Model of 1916 37mm Infantry Gun in the center. And it looks like two of the machineguns are mounted on anti-aircraft tripods.

Robin, Thought you might like to see these carts.

This is a picture taken by my father (one of a hundred) taken in 1941, I believe in August during his officer training at maybe Quantico (could be New River/ Camp Lejeune). The officer is not named.
