quinn1964 Posted September 6, 2025 Report Share Posted September 6, 2025 (edited) A friend who is a serious collector had this original pic so assume its is unpublished. Should be a WWII Marine M4 Sherman crew posing with their side arms aboard ship. Assume they were headed to one of the Pacific landings. Jut thought it might be appreciated.

TSMG28 Posted September 6, 2025 Report Share Posted September 6, 2025 Note that the mags they have are drums, as those were the mags supplied in the tanks. If Sherman’s that would be M4 tanks. M3 tanks could be either the medium M3 Lee or light M3 Stuart. I don’t recall the M3 Lee being used in the PTO, but the M3 Stuart definitely was. Thanks for sharing!

68coupe Posted September 7, 2025 Report Share Posted September 7, 2025 Tank crews didn't have to worry about the noise that drum mags make. It's a very cool photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
