I'll bet that's 82nd about to jump into Africa. Brown bar is giving some direction.

I like how he has his M1A1
tucked in behind his reserve. Looks like there is a magazine in the rifle.

I realize this is an older picture post but I have been looking and trying to find late world war II photos of small caliber arms being waterproofed at the muzzle with muzzle tape. Does anyone know what that is on the end of the soldiers m1 that has it cradled in his arm?

Looks like cotton batting to me.

I thought so too or some kind of cloth because it looks like you can see a few strands of it. I believe it's going to be hard to find a photo of tape being used on the muzzle simply because you would have to have a very close up shot and most photos are off at a distance

I was thinking a pull through flannel, to be withdrawn upon landing.
