Re: "In WW 1 Sgt,York killed 32 Germans & captured 136 up close & personal with a Sprigfield 1903 5 shot bolt action 30.06 rifle."
In the Gary Cooper film, his York used a Springfield. In reality it was a P17 Enfield 30-06 York used...
The P-17 or Enfield P-14 is the rifle you say York was issued.
Two of my uncles were drafted after York and they were issued the 1903 Springfield.
In a company picture there are 3 P-17's and the rest are 1903's.
York also used a .45 auto,
I have fired both of these rifles and prefer the 1903.
I stand corrected.
Everyone in the 82nd Division were required to turn in their Springfileds for Lee-Enfield SMLEs. York carried the Lee-Enfield.
