👍 How the heck am I out of LIKEs again??? mikie

Marine Corps34, Early on during Vietnam, there were a select few Colt marked M7 bayonets, but for a display representing the vast majority of GIs for 1968, the makers you would find are Milpar (which was the first Army contract M7), Conetta,which was contracted in 1966, and  BOC. (Bauer Ordnance Co.).  BOC made the most M7s, but didn't issue their M7 until October 1968, so it may not be a candidate for what your looking for.  Here's a pic of the very common BOC.  Note the gap in the grip behind the cross guard. That is very common on many if not most M7s you'll find.  Marv

A 42nd Division one, though they tend to wear the Pocket Patch above the Tape in this division, unit could be the 1st Squadron 101st Cavalry or the 1st Battalion 142nd Armor pre 1975, 142nd Armor redesignated 242nd Infantry, can't find what armor unit replaced it oddly.

What type of plane was your father on, that is if he was on a plane?  Lt Col Rice was on a B-29 first and then a B-47.

Looking for a 37mm anti Aircraft round if anyone has one. Thanks

Thanks. The tail fin and liner were my favorites from today. I should take a picture of the few bombs and tailfins I have sometime.

Absolutely nothing.

Here's a first.   A EM, wearing the Branch Unassigned Collar Disc, one John J Semsey, says entered the Army in May 1942, draftee or enlisted is not mentioned  still wearing the Black tie we see, photo then taken some time in 1942. and may be a Basic portrait, wearing the Branch Unassigned at this stage. Semsey was 33 when he started basic, and whether or not he was initially non infantry, he certainly would be down the line, as he is KIA at 36 years of age in the 78th Infantry Division's 310th Infantry as a Staff Sergeant in Germany April 1945.

Another Engineer from same unit as Post #1159, here with a very wide mesh net  of uncertain origin, maybe a vehicle net note the Hawley Liner, most uncommon for this late date of March 1945.
