According to the historian's reports:
In July 1942 the decision was made to resupply all (just Can? or ALL?) armoured Div's in the UK with the No4 rifle. This was completed by Nov 42.
The decision was then made to re-equip all Can army with the No4 rifle, it was reported 7.17.43 that "all forward units" had been re-equiped.
The returns for Jan 31,1944 report the Canadian Army was totally re-equiped with the No4 rifle.
Returns for 31 Dec 1944:
Can Army - UK
No1Mk3 -23
No4 -38,830
No4T -89
STEN -13,920
AAI (Can Army - Italy)
No4 -31,270
No4T -134
SMG -21,544
NWE (Can Army - Europe)
No1Mk3 -135
No4 -54,595
No4T -182
Sten -34,013
I note that 31 may 1944 the NWE army held 204 No4T rifles, so 22 disappeared somewhere maybe with short exciting lives.Information
