Anxious WWII US Army Platoon Soldiers Standing In Line - Stockfoto

A heavily armed platoon of World War II US Army soldiers is standing in line against an ancient brick wall as they wait solemnly and anxiously before moving out on a patrol mission. The technical specialist in front is carrying an M1 Garand .30 caliber rifle. He is followed by the team's combat medic with the medical cross symbols (changed to green to avoid infringing American Red Cross trademark rights) on his helment and armband; then the unit patrol leader Sergeant - holding an M1928Ai .45 caliber Thompson submachine gun; finally the last soldier carrying an M1919 Browning machine gun with a bandoleer of .30 caliber ammunition.
