    WWII

    I recall a reference that the Brit Commandos tried the M1icon and "loved it." IIRC they requisitioned about 1,000. Of course I can't find the source when I need it.

    John,
    This is an image of Marine George Barnes on U.S Destroyer Horace BASS just before a raid into Korea in 1951, so they were in use then, hope this helps.
