Use of Brit SMLE No.4 Mk.1 T by Aust Army in WWII

[Paul S.]

Actually, there were pictures on the 'other' website showing No.4s in Australian service. Some were pictures identified the troops as being VDG. I seem to recall some commentary at the time about RAAF use and 'home service' use, but none about active service use.

The website I referred to was the old Culvers' site. "Maynard", a "banana bender", was a frequent poster and as memory serves he posted comments and pictures (some of which I think were AWM marked) of No4s in Australian hands.

John Sukey who posts here may remember the discussions and may have archived some of the material.
