Copy of a period photograph which shows 2 US soldiers, one with a VB launcher and the other with a Chauchat. The soldier on the right also has a good view of the Bolo knife on his hip.

Good Day All, The May, 2023 edition of American Rifleman (published by the US NRA), has a 4 page article by Bruce Canfield, The V-B Rifle Grenade Launcher in World War II. It provides a broad overview of the use, mostly USMC, of the "V-B Rifle Grenade, Mark I" and launchers , predominately 1903, in the years (i.e. 42-43) following US entry into WW2.
