Thanks for that, Geo .... can you imagine a Cdn poet buying a machine gun today?

Heck, had to buy my own gun in Vietnam
If you lost one through carelessness , not as a result of combat action, you could end up getting it deducted from your pay.
You'd also get a Art. 15, or worse .
Isn't $1000 a lot to pay for a machine gun in the WW1 era ?
You could get a new Motel T Ford for less than half that.
