I am writing an article on the 1918 Mk1 Trench knife and i am looking for some photos of doughboys of WW1 or soldiers of WW2 equiped with them.
thank you in advance
 
Good luck, I've never seen a WW-1 photo of anyone carrying a 1918 MK-1 though there are plenty of shots showing troops carrying the M1917. I'm not convinced the Mk-1 was issued in any numbers before the war ended.

There are a lot of photos of WW-II troops carrying the M1918 Mk1. It was issued to the 82nd Abn early in the war among other units.
 
thank you, i thougth so much, as toe US made 1918 didnt see combat. it does seem that the french ones (Au lion) were issued before the armistice.
do you have any of WW2 US troops with theses knives?
