Hey Matt.
That isn't a .50 cai....It's a Boys Anti tank rifle ( .55 cal ). This is the first photo that I have ever seen of an Aussie carrier with a Boys mounted in the gunners port. ...And this after I told Ray Carn that they were never mounted in the gunners port on Australia carriers. There is a specific Aust. carrier mount for Boys, but it mounts the rifle on the side armour. So I don't actually know how they have managed to mount this gun. Is there a specific mount for the Boys in a British/Canadian carrier? ( as in, fits into the vickers mount position ) Pedr |

I assume these may be photos from one of the Div Cav Regts in the middle east and then its return to northern Australia. Regards.

Hi Matt - not recorded in my database. However it was a 1942 SAR munufactured under Order MOS.146. BTW thanks for the image, another one I can hyperlink into my database, with your permission of course.
