Default 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.
