Rifles in the photo are the standard British Sniper Issue being the.303” Lee Enfield No: 4(T) which been picked out after production by being test fired and then selected because of the accuracy in that test, the magazine holds 10 rounds. The Sniperscope attached to these rifles had a magnification of 4 providing accuracy up to 600 yards plus depending on the skill of the individual man. The tubular items on tripods are the War Department issue “Scout” 4-draw Telescopes each marked with a Broad Arrow. Snipers always operate in twos, known as a “Sniper Pair” the reason being that one would be observed to the front using binoculars whilst the other rested. They have a number of roles of which excellent shooting is only one. A further role is that of gathering Intelligence to be passed back to the Unit Intelligence Officer under whose Command they would normally work.
