Creating a new rifleman with the M-1 Garand

“In my opinion, the M-1 Rifle is the greatest battle implement ever devised.”
— Lieutenant General George S. Patton, Jr.

Campbell, Jr., who was the War Department’s Chief of Ordnance. Patton went on to praise the effectiveness of other U.S. armaments as well, but the words about the M-1 Garand rifle stood out.
