I'll tell Brennon it's available and he can get with you on it direct.

Boys in T-16 ?
I would enjoy seeing a photo of a T-16 mounting a Boys rifle going into NW Europe '44-'45.
The Boys Anti-tank rifle in the Canadian (C31UCW) Mk. II* Welsh Stowage from the 1943 production is not uncommon in factory images showing stowage. I do not have any showing the Boys in a Carrier in NW Europe '44-'45. Last edited by Michael R.; 06-12-12 at 03:06.

I thought the Boyes were phased out of European service in the Italian campaign, but were kept on in Asia against the weaker Japanese armour. The Americans even used them on the Pacific islands. I guess if you shot at soldiers taking cover in the rocks the spall would do a number on them. I also have a pic somewhere of a Kiwi using one for crocodile control in New Guinea. That sounds like fun!
