On father's day, it seems appropriate to talk about clues to a dad's wartime work. In a thread elsewhere on this board that first established her father's (John Brown) unit within the 106th, Rhonda then asked about a gun her father handled: 106thdivision.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=looking&thread=404&page=1#1358
She knew only that he carried the weapon & someone else carried the ammo.
On the "it takes a village" theory of finding answers, we pitch in with what we know and it works well. Big John and Floyd both followed with insight on guns. Floyd also added information about the unit her dad was in: 106thdivision.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=looking&thread=404&page=1#1360
In further notes on the BAR, mentioned by BIG John, Carl notes those involved with the BAR, including an ammo carrier: 106thdivision.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=equipment&action=display&thread=650
