Does anyone have information, whether the M1 was issued to the troops stationed in Hawaii, prior to the attack on Pearl Harbour, i have seen many photos of Marines, and Army with the 03 Springfield,...
Actually i believe the Sherman had two 6-71 detroit engines, as the 6-71 series was being produced in the 40's when the Sherman was in production.
From what i can see, the ships armory held perhaps 25 SMLE rifles, a few Lanchester smg's, and some revolvers for officers,..a larger number of the ships company would be landing to disarm the...
Good eye..!, you are right the revolver does have a square barrel,..might be a Webley.455, that Canada aquired from WW1, I think we can assume the US K Bar was traded from some Yank in exchange for...

Did Canada have enough SMLE rifles in storage from WW1 to equip the troops when war was declared in 1939, or were more SMLE's acquired from Britian, as the Long Branch No.4 rifle was not general...
Thanks for your reply,..always wondered if our Canadiantroops were issued new SMLE's from British arsenals
After WW1 ,Canada had large stocks of SMLE rifles supplied by the Brits,..i was wondering if Canada aquired more SMLE rifles from the Brits after Canada went to war in 1939...the No.4 rifle didn't go...
