Date:
November 1942
Description:
Original caption reads: "Ready to make a shipment of pineapples to Hitler, Hirohito & Co. An infantryman at Fort Belvoir, Va., holds a double handful of deadly grenades that may one day blast open a road to Berlin or Tokyo." Archivist note: These grenades appear to be Mark II defensive hand grenades, the standard U.S. Army hand grenade of World War II. On his back, this soldier appears to be carrying the M1903 "Springfield" bolt-action rifle.
