"Lucky Strike" c. 1944. The United States was
the only country to equip its troops with an auto-loading rifle as the
standard infantry weapon of WWII. It gave their troops a tremendous advantage
in firepower, and led General George Patton to call the M1 Garand, “The
greatest battle implement ever devised.” (Colorized by Paul Reynolds.
Historic Military Photo Colourisations)
The Garand replaced our infantry's bolt-action weapons
in 1937. The term auto-loading confused me at first. I think the
more common term is semi-automatic...fires a round as fast as you can pull
the trigger.

On October 1, 1940, Private Jack Bernard and other
volunteers in The British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught’s Own Rifles)
were marching smartly down Eighth Street in New Westminster to board a ship
and sail off to war. Suddenly, Bernard’s five-year-old son broke free of his
mother’s grasp and sprinted into the military formation to take his smiling
father’s hand. In that instant, an alert Vancouver Daily Province
photographer, Claude Dettloff, snapped the shutter. Soon, his unforgettable
image of little Warren “Whitey” Bernard was being printed by leading
publications throughout North America. It was later used in Canada’s war bond
drives with the plea, “help bring my Daddy home.” Jack Bernard survived the
war and was reunited with his son in 1945. (Claude Dettloff, photographer -
