Canadian Soldier with M1


Recommended Posts

With a bit of flannelette stuck in the muzzle to keep the dust out.

Excellent photo. If it wasn't for the war going on, it looks like a great afternoon of riding and shooting.

 

Sad that he didn't make it home.

 

Thanks for sharing the photo,

Cool picture, I've never seen that one before, noticed the sling swivel locations, did Canadians use mostly British gear and guns?

The Canadian version of the 1942 dated Small Arms training Pamphlet for the Thompson SMG, has drawings, with the relocated sling attachments, mind you the pamphlet is almost an exact copy of the British one.

Not sure if these have been posted before, but here we have more photos of Canadians with M1's some with obvious modified sling attachments.
