1st M1 88, Nice day 13 picture, is this a relative of yours?
Records held at the National Archives for the (MUSTER ROLL OF OFFICERS AND ENLISTED MEN OF THE U.S. MARINE CORPS
SECOND BATTALION, TWENTY-EIGHTH MARINES, FIFTH MARINE DIVISION)
Show that Raymond Beran was a PFC at that time and he arrived on Iwo Jima on 19 Feb 1945 aboard LST 634.

W5USMC. Yes he is my father-in-law. Thanks for the added information on date and LST. He was a great friend also. We spent many hours fishing and hunting together. Thanks for the correction with 28th Marines 5th Division.

Is that a Carbine standing up?
Behind the guy feeding the Mortar tube.
Great picture to have...
You were fortunate to have a FIL you could consider a friend.
A huge plus also having him as a hunting and fishing buddy.
His service is greatly appreciated....

God Bless

I also thought that might be a carbine but when I blow up the photo I does not appear to be one.

Day 15





My Dad was a 740 Radio Operator during WWII.  The “crank to transmit” SCR 284 shown here was one of the radios he operated.  He always wanted to carry a carbine but was only authorized to carry an M1 Garand.  In Feb 1945 after recuperating in a hospital for a leg wound, he was discharged and assigned back to his old unit.  When asked about rifle reissue he told them, knowingly and incorrectly, that he carried a carbine.  They gave him a new model carbine with all the latest improvements.  As soon as his Lieutenant who was entitled to carry a carbine, saw his newer model he took it as his own and had a regular M1 Garand, as was proper issued to my Dad.

This photo is attributed to vicinity Utah Beach D-Day, 4th Signal Co, 4th ID.

Must be pretty good recoil. Notice it knocked the helmet off the grenadier in the last clip? I wouldn't want to be the tank driver in that training scenario.

I'm not sure I would feel comfortable having a round chambered prior to fitting the grenade to the muzzle.

But I guess you would also not want to have have a slam fire occur with a grenade already fitted either.

My son and I first looked at this image and we both said, he's got an M1A1. My wife and daughter said judging by the the leaf it must be warm there.

Day 17

Even though we had 2 photos yesterday, I think we are still on Day 17 today. Sure wish some other Members would start posting some pictures, although I can take it all the way to Day 30, there are lots of great pictures out there.
Marines on Iwo Jima 1945.

I got busy with a bunch of odds and ends today to clear some time for the weekend.
Nothing went smooth, every chore refusing to die!
When I finally seen our streak had a chance of ending I scrambled and posted the pic I did.
Must have been while I was looking at the preview that you guys posted your pics.
WTH was my first thought after seeing them. Then seen the time stamps..... Might be a good idea to use that number in the lotto tonight.
You can tell I panicked cause I lost the carbine of the day count.....

All the while still laughing at the picture of Palm leaf M1A1 guy. A WWII version of Klinger ??

Bottom Line Streak continues..... All can play.
Thx Again Wayne... Thumbs Up

Good Weekend to all,
