Shot attached is a soldier with Number 4 Commando armed with a Model 1928 Thompson as he and his unit were moving inland from Sword Beach on their way to Ranville on June 6, 1944. Their unit also carried Sten guns at this time. Some Commandos also still had Thompsons at the time of the Rhine Crossing in March 1945.
