I am painting the above ack and I am not sure of one pose. It looks like either a soldier holding a mine, or a soldier holding a reel of wire for a field phone.

Can anyone tell me what it is? i would base it either as an engineer or as part of an observation team.

Pretty sure that's a guy with a reel of wire, I'm sure I saw this discussed on GHQ's forums when the pack came out, but I'm not finding the discussion at the moment…

Edit – found it, here's how that pack is described:

Sprue "A" (qty 2 per pack) has:
- Two figures with slung M-1 carbines (identified by the magazine) holding SCR-536 radios. I'm personally thrilled to see radios!!
- Two figures with some sort of slung longarm carrying wire spools.
- Two prone figures with backpacks and scoped rifles. I was really happy to see these guys too – platoon snipers are here at last!
- Three kneeling figures, with backpacks, pointing to one side. They have some sort of long arm by their knee – M-1 carbine, at a guess.
The four types on Sprue "A" are all pictured in GHQ's current official picture for US95

Sprue "B" (qty 3 per pack) has:
- Five figures with backpacks and a long arm aimed from the hip. I'm considering this an M-1 rifle, but can't see much in the way of distinguishing features. Third from the right in GHQ's official picture.
- Four figures with backpacks and (sigh) SMGs. These are M-3 "grease guns". Second from the left in GHQ's official picture.

Sprue "C" (qty 3 per pack) has:
- Six figures with backpacks and rifles. I'm almost certain these are M-1 rifles. Not pictured in GHQ's official picture. The stance is very similar to the BAR man, below.
- Three figures with backpacks and BARs. This is the far left figure in GHQ's official picture.
