Returning Fire
While taking cover behind an M4A3E8 Sherman, a BAR man of the 5th Regimental Combat Team, 24th Infantry Division returns small arms fire at Chinese troops. This photograph was taken 3 February 1951, on the banks of the Han River during the Korean War. The BAR man is using an M1918A2 rifle that has had the bipod and flash hider removed, a fairly common occurrence in combat BARs. To the left of the photo, another soldier can be seen on the radio, presumably reporting the group’s situation to headquarters or calling in for air or artillery support.
