Bren at War

[henry r]

the other (to me) iconic bren pic
(well discounting the ivor hele "taking old vickers position" painting)



“ A Bren gun team of 2/8th Australian Infantry Battalion support an attack on Mount Shiburangu, near Wewak in Papua New Guinea. ”


the grenade launching no1 mk3 is interesting too. what is the shiny bit on the fore end between the magazine and the binding?

edit. totally off topic, but i love the way that in any pic you see of an australian in the field, thier slouch hat has been totally reshaped.
