Back on track, and we’re back with the Army.
This one is different, in that it’s a picture of a Sergeant ‘leading’ troops over the top.
He’s carrying a Garand, with an M1905 bayonet, and it looks like probably mid-war period items. I’m not an expert on the equipment, so I could be wrong.
This was done by the Army Recruiting Publicity Bureau, and I can’t find much more information than that.
I like the old “T” stripes… MUCH better than the “specialists” of today.
Mid 1960’s, Spec 5 was a bastard rank. Same duties as a three stripe sergeant without the authority. My late father was a T5 in WW II.
Buck- That does make one think of WWII/Korea…
WSF- Good point! I hadn’t thought of that.
Great poster
