Higgins LCP(L) in British use

[servicepub (RIP)]

There are a number of reports that clearly identified the troops carrying Stens at Dieppe. In fact, the troops' unfamiliarity with these, and the fact that the magazines were delivered loaded and did not give the troop any time to inspect the weapons, led to criticisms about the Sten from raid survivors.
I will try to dig these out later.

Michael R. -Note that I only refer to Canadians in my previous comments.

Lang - Note that documents and regulations are the basis for any study. Yes, a soldier or two may have carried unauthorized equipment but that is not the basis for study. As to TSMG in Dieppe by Canadians - good luck finding .45ACP ammunition once you have expended your magazine.
