Bren at War

[Peter Laidler]

Top photo: Note the absent bott handle, strap and marking disc. And even a bipod! It'd have been easier to remove the bipod assembly but the Mk1 won't work without the sleeve. Stupid or what? And what sort of tripod is that? Is it a modified Browning M1917 type?

Note the bracket outside, close to the A27 radio call sign. That was for the Lee Enfield bodied 2" bomb thrower. The driver would certainly be getting an earful - literally - if the Bren fired while he was sat there. Mind you, so would the gunner too.......... from the driver
