If this whole quarantine thing is good for one thing, its giving me lots of time to whittle away at my “To-Read” shelf. This here is March’s Haul! It had book number 7 of 20 in the Sharpe series where Lt Richard Sharpe leads his band of cut off Rifles in the Oporto Campaign, Malcolm Gladwell’s analysis of underdogs and how people are successful against frightful odds, The late Dr. Hans Rosling’s thesis about a factually continuously improving world regardless of our preconceived notions and biases, and Steven Pinker’s mutually supported thesis on an improving world with the addition advances in science and reason. Also part of this pile is the history of two separate Canadian Regiment during the Second World War. Farely Mowat’s “The Regiment” follows his own regiment The Hasting and Prince Edward Regiment (The Hasty P’s) from its mobilization in Canada to the War’s end in North-West Europe. The other is David O’Keefe’s history of the Black Watch, Royal Highlanders of Canada that covers its culture, traditions, flaws, strengths, and the first 7 days of their Normandy Campaign culminating in their attack at Verrières Ridge where they sustained 94% Casualties. _______________________________________ Since I see myself being confined to my home for the foreseeable future, I’ll be making good use of the time by upping my literary intake. Hopefully I’ll be able to keep this pace up! #bookstagram #marchreads #quarantinereads #BernardCornwall #RichardSharpe #SharpesHavoc #MalcolmGladwell #DavidandGoliath #Factfullness #HansRosling #StevenPinker #EnlightenmentNow #FarleyMowatt #TheRegiment #HastingandPrinceEdwardRegiment #HastyPs #DavidOKeefe #SevenDaysinHell #BlackWatchCanada (at Kentville, Nova Scotia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-p3zCPJKSZQHGmv1eQmgYmatPcUTXHXBwjRiQ0/?igshid=dhvwg7zy4hmw

Then he went in there on his own to neutralize the enemy and rescue the hostages. His actions certainly saved many lives and shows the manner of these men, who are extremely brave and always ready." #WhoDaresWins #SAS #TheRegiment •• •• #britishsas #specialoperations #jsoc #specialairservice #operator #realhero #brassballs #AlwaysReady #oafnation #oaf #gwot #counterterrorism #hostagerescue #savelives #britisharmy #devgru #deltaforce https://www.instagram.com/p/BsvwTgzBgYH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xx1xviincu58

SAS gear for ops in France in 1944

"The parachutist now carried his main weapon with him in a special sleeve strapped to the leg, rather than packed in a separate container.

The standard issue .45 calibre Smith & Wesson revolver the SAS had hefted on earlier missions hade en replaced by the .45 Colt automatic. The Colt was heavy and inaccurate, and SAS troops came to prefer the less freely available 9mm Browning GP35, which would be so highly favoured by post-war SAS anti-terrorist teams. The Tommy-gun was still around, but had been supplemented by the ‘baked bean can’ 9mm parabellum Sten-gun, and the superior but limited issue Patchett 9mm. The No.36 Mills grenade ‘pineaple’ was used side by side with the Lewes bomb and the No.82 ‘Gammon’ bomb – a kilo of plastic explosive in a canvas bag connected to a fuse that exploded on impact, capable of damaging armoured vehicles.

Seven-inch Sykes-Fairburn stilettos fighting knives, manufactured by Wlikinsons, were issued for ‘silent killing’. The SAS never liked this weapon much, because it was impractical, and blew their cover if they were captured. A bayonet was better, because it had multiple uses, and was standard issue to all units. In practice, ‘silent killing’ was a messier and more difficult business than it appeared in the movies, usually requiring at least two men to carry it out efficiently. The ‘fighting knife’ was mostly used for preparing food, and even then was of less value than the unromantic clasp-knife.

The .303 Lee-Enfield Mark IV had been replaced by the US-made .30 calibre Winchester M1-A1 carbine. At only three kilos, the carbine was half the wight of a Lee-Enfield, and ideal for paratroops. Though not so accurate, and lacking the range of the Mark IV, it had a semi-automatic capability and could produce a higher rate of fire. Its rounds were only half the weight of .303 rounds, meaning that the shooter could carry more.

Separate containers were still deployed for explosives, wireless sets, petrol, spare water and rations, but all personal kit was stowed in a canvas Bergen Rucksack with an external steel frame and the new jungle-green’44 pattern webbing. As well as a more easily accessible water-bottle, with a fitted lightweight steel mug, the new webbing incorporated ammo pouches slung lower than the old ’37 pattern, which tended to prevent the soldier from lying flat. Heavy “Compo” rations had been supplemented by twenty-four-hour ration-packs in cardboard containers that could packed easily into the webbing. The rations consisted of tinned sardines, cheese and meat dripping, oatmeal blocks, meat blocks, soup cubes, tea, biscuits, sweets and chocolate. A new and highly efficient solid-fuel Hexamine cooker had also been developed.

For parachuting, the gear was stuffed in a cylindrical container known as ‘leg-bag’. The bag rested on the leg during the exit, but was held in place by a couple of hooks that were released after the canopy developed. The bag dropped and dangled below the parachutist at the end of a fifteen-foot cord, attached to his harness. This system took the weight off the parachutist as he hit the ground, and also increased his stability in the air. The main drawback was that the leg-bags tended to get snagged on the edge of the hatchway as the men went out.

All parachute troops wore rubber-soled boots and a specially designed dennison smock with a leg-strap to prevent it flying up during the descent. They were also issued with a dome-shaped helmet with a chin-pad, to replace the old broad-brimmed helmet whose design went back to 1914. Much of this new generation of ‘airborne’ gear would be retained for decades after the war."
