Bill, That Springfield he is holding looks bigger than he was, and with the bayonet fixed, you can be sure that it was. And yet, there he is, standing tall and doing his duty. What a great picture.

May the good Lord rest his soul and the souls of all who fought to preserve our freedoms.

Regards,
Doug

Dad was in the 43 Infantry, Co M. The picture was taken in Fort Logan Texas. The frame is as old as the picture 1917-1918. I believe these were bought on the base, or even furnished? The rifle is an Enfield. Thanks for responding. Bill
