BLACKBURN, VIC. 1944-01-16. MEMBERS OF THE 3RD BATTALION, VOLUNTEER DEFENCE CORPS, WHO WERE THE "ENEMY" DURING THE UNIT BATTLE MANOEUVRES, SIGHTING THEIR RIFLES OVER THE TRENCH PARAPET. THEY ARE: V364157 LANCE CORPORAL J. A. EDMONDSON (1); V364173 PRIVATE A. G. PARLBY (2); V364162 CORPORAL J. W. HAWDON (3); V364153 PRIVATE J. E. CLARK (4). These men rather than being equipped with obsolete weapons, are using the latest Mark of the ubiquitous .303- these are No. 4 Short Magazine Lee Enfields (SMLE) probably made in Canada or by Savage Arms in the USA, and among relatively few imported into Australia during the War. Most were paradoxically issued to the VDC and AWAS. The Australian Army stuck with the No. 3 manufactured at Lithgow. Most No. 4s ended up in the hands of target shooters after the War. They had an enviable reputation for accuracy.
