Major Crimes Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 The drip rifles were set up to cover the last night of the retreat from ANZAC Cove. As the last troops were leaving a trench they would punch a small hole into the top tin and some time later the rifle would fire, there was no one left to reload it. https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/H19321/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
