Default Bofors-School, lesson nr 6
The last picture above shows the Australian type of sights.

Now the "Polish" reflex mirror sights. These look basically the same regardless of beeing made in Belgium, Finland, Hungary, Poland or Sweden.

In Great Britain these sights were only used on the first batches of imported Mk I guns.

I beleive that those sights were in GB later replaced by "spider-web" sights. This for facilitating training.

Note the mixed German WW 1 and WW 2 helmets. The soldier extreme right has a WW 1 German Cavalry helmet.

Finland 1941-44 war.
