That's from the Dustbowl Great Depression pictures by Dorothea Lange, I think. Some stunning work by the FS A photographers.

I believe that the M-1 was originally envisaged to shoot the .276 of Pedersons design. An interesting round that predated the 'intermediate' rounds of the StG44 and AK47 after the war However, MacArthur, and the Army, having 150 million rounds of '06 left over from WW1, prevailed and the rifle was redesigned for 30-06 Which is why it holds only 8 rounds, as opposed to the 10 of .276 envisaged. And kicks like a mule. Now, where's the Bren?...
