chipsaunders Posted April 15, 2025 Report Share Posted April 15, 2025 I received an email today that included this photo. It appears to be a typical Army photo of all the equipment of the tank and crew. Apparently, they had one issued M1928A1 with 10 L Drum Magazines. The interesting thing to me is the equipment includes a leather scabbard for the TSMG. Was the gun stored in the scabbard in the tank? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moor Posted April 15, 2025 Report Share Posted April 15, 2025 Awesome photo Chip. I still trying to identify some of the equipment but it appears that each crew member had a handgun of some type. I wonder what was stored on the outside of the tank. The parts in the lower left corner appear to be track parts? I suspect they were stored outside. Anyone have any ideas what else was stored outside the tank. I suspect that tommy gun was store inside, likely in the turret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
