I have been so caught up on this thread I failed to mention the RM in my possesion that probably saw service in WWII.

Here's a link to the thread.

I have also failed to mention that my grandfather (on Mom's side) Harold Freeman was in the Army in the Pacific and his first engagement was Okinawa. Even though he was supposed to be a mechanic, he was given a rifle and sent to the front. He later served in the occupational forces in Japan. About the only thing he would ever tell me about the war was how much he liked the BAR
Wow. Nice one. Looks to be in somewhat better shape than mine. Holster wear and climate on Guadalcanal and Bouganville probably left mine the worse for wear that it is...but I still cherish it. And it's actually in pretty darned good shape considering the use it had.
