WW1 Soldiers with the M1918 BAR

Featured Replies

#1

Hello,

 

I was reading about the AEF being issued the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) in July of 1918. Obviously most people think of WW2 with the BAR but the first time the BAR saw combat action was in September 1918 with the 79th Division. I have been unable to find any photographs during the war of soldiers with their BARs. Do any exist? I'd love to look upon them if found and sent in. Thanks!

I have photos in my collection of 11th Marines with BARs in France October 1918.  They do exist, they're just hard to find.
