1935 Bren film with sound

[Kev G]

Worth watching (and listening) 30th Sept 1935 at Aldershot.

clicky

Nice to see the leather magazine bandoleers and packsadlery magazine carrier.Also the Bren/ZGB stowed in the gun bucket without the barrel attached.
The officer should be bloody shot though for calling a magazine a 'clip' !
