colinjj Posted 23 April , 2007 Author Share Posted 23 April , 2007 lee metford Mk1 lee metford Thanks for such a quick response. Was this standard issue for RFA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf Posted 23 April , 2007 Share Posted 23 April , 2007 Were these special issue? Or were they issued as that’s what was laying about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auchonvillerssomme Posted 23 April , 2007 Share Posted 23 April , 2007 they would have been issued until a unit was fully kitted out. but others with more knowledge on here can answer that.....what intrigues me is where was the picture taken?

The location of the picture intrigues me as well. I can't quite read the writing on the wall but it definately refers to RFA and a battalion. It also feels French to me with the shutter type design? Maybe my imagination is running away with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
