L42A1

[Gil Boyd]

Hi Simon,
Welcome back. My pleasure running the Lee Enfield checks for you in your absence serving the country.
I make a big thing about the use of none L42A1 rifles down south in my book because its fact.
2 PARA took all their 7.62 competition winning target rifles with them, as David Cooper the Battalion Padre was really big into Olympic and National shooting, and God bless him as it was the right decision.
I don't think though that the CO H Jones knew of even cared what they took down with them, as long as it got the job done.....which it did!!
