    Those high-waisted pants have GOT to come back in.
  • Clint Atkinson said:
    These are all so staged and everyone dressed as lady-like as possible. But the image of women standing around like men on shiftwork must have been shockingly new to anyone seeing it in the 40's. Even today you don't see this kind of swagger shown by women in mixed workforces.

    The M1 Garand did not exist then. I would say that it is a Lee Enfield. This picture reminds me how tired a person can really get. It makes me think of my days in the airborne infantry, I remember being so tired that I laid down in a mud puddle and fell asleep. You had to take it when and were you could get it. Ten or fifteen minutes of sleep was a treasured thing.

    Great photo, looks as if it was taken Yesterday. It is a Lee Enfield which had a good reputation with the men that used it If it had one weakness, it was that the firing mechanisms were susceptible to dirt and grit. When not in battle, many men simply covered the firing mechanism with cloth (as in the photo) in an effort to keep out dirt which would jam the rifle.
