The fore grip on the Sten was a field mod I gather.

Mk. V. Look at the foresight and where his other hand is.

"...has a Hi-Power..." That's what Para's were issued. Chances are he was the Officer too.
The guy with the STEN and the guy with the T look a great deal alike. Wonder if they were related.
Spelling and Grammar count!

Well...I was issued one for a spell and was far from it. I was gun number two on a MG so my personal weapon was a pistol. They're around.

Four years on from this photo in 1949, The Parachute Regiment was formed as a standalone Regiment.
Palestine, another pointless internal war, where we lost a lot of men, along with other Regiments, sticking our noses into other peoples business, for a strip of land, which has cost millions of lives since
