Hi all,

I came across a picture of troops training in 1938 with SMLE's, curious thing, on closer inspection, all the rifles have Flanders mud flaps fitted...

When were the flaps made obsolete?

Could it be that:

A,The picture is actually WW1, doesn't appear to be the case.

B,They are WW1 rifles from store, issued during the pre war expansion period, still fitted with flaps?

Opinions gents....
