U - 30th Infantry

The auto-rifleman carried the squad’s single Browning Automatic Rifle, (BAR), and every other man was armed with an M-1 Rifle, the Garand. The BAR was a well liked but limited weapon. It could not be considered as a light machine gun in the same way as a US Light Machine Gun, a British Bren gun or a German MG34/42. ................
