Full Description
From the humorous to the poignant, this incredible collection of wartime images reveals the ordinary GIs on the frontline. From the deserts of North Africa to Normandy and from Guadalcanal to Iwo Jima, every theatre of war is covered and each image details the small arms that the average GI carried with him to wage war and win an historic victory. All the key small arms, form the commonplace Grease Gun to the rare Johnson rifle, and including pistols, rifles, carbines, combat shotguns, automatic rifles and machine guns are included.
