Australian EY in Canada
Thanks for all the information!
I came across one of these Australian Enfield EY rifles while in Ontario. The fellow was asking $475.00 CAD, which I recognized as quite expensive (considering that a complete WW2 Longbranch Enfield IV can be purchased for that price).
Never the less, VERY interesting. I hope to come across some stories involving use in some of the books that I read.
However, just one last question:
How were these EY rifles issued??
Were they common amongst both small or large sections of soldiers?? (for example, did every 50-man section have 2 EY riflemen??)
Or were there specific EY riflemen for "special occasions"??
Thanks again! I have added a "Wanted" ad on the MLU site for one of these cups.
