Grasshopper Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 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, Grasshopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1952HRA Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Cool picture, I've never seen that one before, noticed the sling swivel locations, did Canadians use mostly British gear and guns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpbcps Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 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.

rpbcps Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 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. Stay safe Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anjong-ni Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Nothing like cooling off in the shade against the track of your Lee tank with your Thompson and a cracker...after a day of chasing the Gerrys... Great picture. Thanks Richard.......Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
