That is indeed a neat pic. Thanks for posting it.
It looks like the rubber eyepiece on the doughboy's Warner Swasey equipped Springfield has gone missing.
Got any more interesting pics? We love 'em here.

Some More Information:
Some research has been done, and the sniper in the image is Corporal Deveraux of Company M, 125th Infantry, 32nd Div - the "Les Terribles." Deveraux was in all of the 32nd Division's engagements. The Division suffered a great many combat casualties. By August, 1918 the 125th was down to half strength.
I never noticed the missing rubber eye piece on the scope. Good observation.
It does look like a bolo scabard, but it's in fact a wire-cutter pouch.
Best regards,
Greg

Just a bit curious, but may I ask how do you claim proprietorship on the copyright subsisting in this photographic work?
If this was an official US government photo then it would be out of purview of the copyright laws.
And if this photograph was taken privately, then 1918 was almost 90 years ago. Which copyright law grants copyright for such a long term? In some countries copyright subsists for 50 to 60 years from the date of the death of the photographer. You better hope that the photographer survived the Great War
