Australian airmen (76 Sqn) at the admiralty islands 1944. Photo awm.gov.au. The photo caption suggests a transport shortage. Kittyhawk aircraft in the background named 'tropical ulcer'.

Ammo and armorer replacement parts must have been a real supply headache.
3 M1 Carbines (30 cal Carbine)
3 M1 Garands (30:06)
2 BARs (30:06)
1 Thompson SMG (.45 cal steel or brass case ammo)
Someone's got a .45 in there you can bet. (.45 brass case ammo)

And there's still three guys we can't see weapons for.
Load of fun headed into or out of trouble for somebody.
