Just got a flashback to France - especially the couple of times I have been to Normandy. Time to go back I think....

The M1 Garand that I have does not have any wood on it.
The ones that I have with wood is a 1917 enfield found in a river in Meuse Argonne and the other one is a M1 carbine found in one of the boat sunk in front of Omaha beach.

Chris,

Thanks for posting the photos. What great finds. I was happy to find a split .303 case in 2006, that made my trip.

was it on Omaha or Utah?
It is always nice to be able to pick-up a relic yourself for souvenir.

I found it on Omaha just SE of Les Moulins along the rocks put in to support the sea wall.. It was never fired and split in half, packed with sand.

That would be the second division if I remenber correctly.
The sea always bring stuff to the beach.
