Only Carbines, Rifles, Cartridge belts and canteens. These troops were deploying to set up a blocking skirmish line. The cream of the ROK army never got back south of the Han after the sudden armored onslaught of North Korea trapped and crushed them there in savaage fighting. Perhaps most of these troops had been picking apples in Masan or stocking shelves in stores, just two months before.
Note how large the M1 seems on these small men, as compared to the carbines. All in all, they did the best they could.
God bless them.
