45th Division News Vol. IV No. 32 "Anyone know where Jack Mayson (Alexander, Louisiana) can get shells for this baby? His outfit acquired this museum piece some months ago, and it's going home with some lucky GI when this is all over. Standing by is A.H. Giron (Santa Fe, New Mexico) who admires the handsome wood stock, but prefers his M-1 when the going gets tough."
