British Sniper pictures

[PrinzEugen]

Was reading Tom Renouf's excellent book Black Watch: Liberating Europe and Catching Himmler - My Extraordinary WW2 with the Highland Division: Amazon.co.uk: Tom Renouf: Books and one of the images was of a Black Watch sniper in action which I'd never seen before so I thought I'd post it here. I also had a quick hunt to see if it had been posted here before and in the process came across a few more. Hopefully you'll find them as interesting as I did. Most are property of the Imperial War Museum and as such can be distributed non commercially.

The images in order are:
1: A marksman of the 5th BN Black Watch hunts targets in Gennep, 1945.
2: Corporal G.E. Mallery covering other members of the Scout Platoon, Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada, advancing towards Fort de Brasschaet. October 9, 1944.
3: Canadian sniper
4: [from book] Black Watch sniper Gennep.
5: Polish sniper from the 1st Armored Division commanded by gen.Stanisław Maczek.1944
6: The Royal Scots Fusiliers, dug in around 1945.
7: British Sniper rifle.
8: Snipers training at a sniper school in a French village, 27 July 1944. [With 3t's from the look of it!]

Let me know if any do infringe some copyright and I'll happily take them down.

Any more to add?
