That would appear to be a Vickers machine-gun (British) in the background, and the helmet looks Britsh too.
tomfs said:
I believe that is a Browning Machine gun. The helmet is a British design (Brodie helmet) that was adopted by US forces in 1917 during World War One. The US designated it the M1917 helmet.

The good reliable M1 .30 cal. Garand rifle. It was the replacement for the bolt-action Springfield 1903 model. Both, sturdy rifles were good for close combat and fixed-bayonet fighting.
Samuel Piker said:
Yes, tomfs, on closer inspection it doesn't have the fluted barrel sleeve and that stubby muzzle-brake like the vickers. I didn't know about the M1917, so that is a new one. I think the British design was loosly based on a medieval foot soldier's helmet.
