 No.1 Mk. III

Adopted in 1907, saw action in WWI and WWII.  Still a viable military weapon after WWII, as evidenced by  examples, rebuilt and placed in reserves at least as late as 1972.  British colonial policy ensured older designs were issued in the colonies long after Her Majesties troops had adopted newer models..
