And the Browning appear to be a local mod on the bipod. The standard issue wad shorter legged.

Actually it was adjustable in height.

Fred

Yes it was. But look at how long this one is. There may have been a post war version that was longer , but any of the world war two versions I've seen or handled didn't extend that far.

You may be right. Anyway, good job by the guy....[:)]..

In a communications seminar I actually attended, the instructor actually emphasized to never say/write "actually" when you are actually correcting someone. It is actually like slapping them in the face and actually saying "You idiot! How could you not know that!".

I actually fixed your post for you. [:'(]

Are you saying to Fred that he actually shouldn't be correcting someone in that fashion? [:'(]

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. I've had much worse than that. Especially here on this forum. Why just the other day , "somebody" suggested that I be sold for scrap. No buyers though. [:D]

Yes....

"The soldier is from the Baekma Division (White Horse) which is the 9th infantry.



"On November 27, 1967, a soldier of the 30th regiment of the Baekma Division (백마부대) rescues Vietnamese children at the battle of Dien Can. This soldier's name is An Sang-Byung (안상병). ""

Yes. Interesting. I'd be interested in finding the source of this too, MakeeLearn. [;)]

It was the tight cut of the pants, cuff, that made me feel that this was not US forces.

https://www.reddit.com/r/HistoryPorn/co ... _the_30th/ I knew the ROK Marines and Tiger division was there , but not the 9th. That explains the uniforms and the browning. I find it interesting that one of the troops has insecticide in his helmet band , just like USA troops did. [:)]

Since we're picking nits (pun intended), troops in Vietnam carried insect repellent in their headbands rather than insecticide per se.

insecticide mixed with c-ration peanut butter = cooking fire fuel.

insecticide mixed with c-ration peanut butter = cooking fire fuel.

And C-4. That was also used as a very useful cooking fire fuel.

It wasn't actually meant as a correction. More like a supplement to the discussion. And, I haven't actually
attended that course of BB's, soo.....or any other for that matter. Haven't actually handled an A6 either, or seen its bipod, for that matter.
The A4, on the other hand.... Or is it in the other hand....?

His boots look Marines to me. But the picture can be found if one googles korean soldiers in Vietnam.
