Davejb Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Nice one, I had two of these, one that I was given , the other was My uncles that he used in Burma, with his Mk 5, He hated the Mk 5,it was inaccurate, had a kick like a mule and for it to be affective you had to be pretty close , which did,nt help when the buggers were nearly on top of you. When he passed away I gave it to his Grandson and the little sod went and sold it the next day, I wish I had,nt bothered 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Hello To you Both, Thanks for showing us this Bayonet...But more so to Dave who's Uncle was in Burma, what a Hellhole of a place to fight, endure and try and beat the enemy, I am sure without question you are very proud of him as a young man in the bloody jungle fighting for his life! I, hope he came home to his family? Best Wishes....Desert Rat/ Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
