Hi
I've decided that one of my next purchases will have to be a 303. So my question is which one......
One of my great grandfather's enlisted on the 1st August 1914 into D company 10th battalion, and was amongst the first on the beach at Gallipoli. He was shot through the thigh on the 30th and evacuated and then went back after some time in hospital. He was transferred to the 50th in Feb 1916 when the battalion was split to form new battalions, and saw action in France in 1917 before being discharged after a series of serious illnesses.
So, what rifle model would he have been issued with, as that would have to be at the top of my list.
Alternatively, from his personal equipment card, I know that the serial number of the rifle that one of my grandfather's was issued with in 1944 was 71140..... No idea what model though.....
Cheers
