Thanks Ossy Kid.

Its been a puzzler, especially that photo of a copper with a bandolier and rifle, which is a Long Lee Enfield of the Boer War era, in all my years of researching WW1 its something I've never come across, especially as there was a Royal Defence Corps comprised of men unfit for front line duties, their main function were guard duties, on important installations. Still can't get it coppers wi rifles, I wouldn't allow em out wi pea shooters unless they are ex-military.
