[CINDERS]

My Uncle in his training in WWII either did not listen to the SOP or forgot how to in firing a M36 grenade from a grenade cup on a MkIII SMLE, flip over the rifle dig the toe of the butt into the ground and fire the rifle launching the grenade.
No! not my uncle, he said to me he fired it from the shoulder and reckons it almost knocked him flat onto the ground!
