Found a pic on facebook in the PPCLI forum and thought it should come over. I think it's been looked at and perhaps discussed but not sure. I know we've talked about this very thing though...note the different rifles.

Clearly still busy with fieldcraft and similar training. No 1 and No 3 rifles only, no telescopes.
A mix of SMLE Mk.III along with P14 (or P17) aren't they.....?Quote:

Looks like a camouflage and concealment course or dressed up as enemy to me.
I think they're just covering that part of the classes...why things are seen. Would be boring for these guys if they had been brought out of action for this course. Looks to me like a break between classes here.Quote:

It is a Canadian wartime propaganda photo and the made more with him - ost were made in colour an on the colur photos he is light blond but you can see that he ins`t so sharp shaved. This was the photo with the best view on the rifle, but I only have in in bw.
Exactly the set-up of my P14. Wow!Quote:

Thus it could be Sniper Training.
