Hi lads
Can any of you help me out please how many Bren Gunners would you find in a platoon in 1941-42 in the 8th army (Rifle Brigade /Kings Royal Rifle Corp )
would it be 1 per section at that time or is that too many? OR 1 per platoon.
If so would he be attached to the PLT H.Q ,with the SJT, 2" mortar,runner, radio op oh and the Boss ?
and later on did they get to have 2 bren gunners per section late war? or is that wishful thinking
On the books I take it that it was 4Plt to a coy ? not 3 plt?
would like your feed back on this please LR
