Every one a story, and most of them tragic.

“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”
Edward Bernays, 1928

Can't help but think of those who carried them.
The one in the upper left shows a hack in the stock.
Maybe hand to hand ?

im going to say it might be a ZB 26, probably a Chinese capture that the Japanese
then put into service. It looks like the grip has been broken off. The rear of the receiver its stepped like the ZB and is not squared off with the tube protruding out the back of the receiver like the type 96 & 99. The drum sight is further forward ( or so it seems) than on a Bren gun and the stock looks different.
funny how some of the captured japanese combat footage some times shows Japanese using BARs and some of the footage from china or singapore shows the Japanese running around with SMLEs.
