Outstanding Trip Wire! Thank you for sharing.

Trip Wire.. Nice PIX. You turned that into the USASOC historian?

No, I just had it sent to me by RICA. They wanted me to look at their boots.

Check out the Ranger facing left, with the 3ID patch and tabs. He has those stripes I think they called "Goldenlite" that were 2 inch wide and used with combat troops.

Yes, although I wore Cpl. stripes in that period, I didn't know that they were called "Goldenlite." The non combat stripes were in reverse color. Like most soldiers in that era, I didn't like them and preferred the WW II stripes to these.

The Soldier on the left side with his weapon at sling arms, is that a BAR?

Yes it is, it has been "Ranger" modified. I also noticed that another Ranger has a BAR ammo belt on, so there are at least two BARs in the group.
The BAR was my favorite weapon in Korea and I carried one most of my time there.
No, I wasn't in the picture, nor did I take it. It was sent to me by RICA (Ranger Infantry Companys Association) with the comment look at the boots.
I did and saw what looked like jump boots, the issue boot of the era (Sort of like a jump boot.) and a couple of pair of WW II combat boots.

TripWire-
Great shot! I noticed a mix of 1903s, BARs and a few M14s. All heavy, all accurate.
OOPs, almost missed the M1 in there too.

Shouldn't have been M-14's, I remember turning in our M-1 garands for M-14's in the early 60's.

T-
My age is probably biting me in the ass.
I could just be seeing fuzzy barrel ends of the M1s - it is completely possible that my old eyes and the picture on the screen conspired to fool my brain into seeing M14s, when none were there in this case.
