My Dad landed with 9th ID on January 1st 1967. He was a medic with 1/11 Field Arty "On Time".
The caption on the back of the pic says, "This clean cut fellow was putting a call to his Girl. He said something about the end, if she didn't answer."
Can you help me ID the make and type of pistol in his hand? I have no idea about the 1911. I came up in the M9 days...
