Could you pass the following to your friend, John Holbrook, re the Colt automatic: This gun was purchased by the Canadian government in l9l4 and issued to my uncle, Captain Herbert Oldfield, who was serving in the Royal Winnipeg Rifles regiment. Unfortunately my uncle didn't survive the War, but his effects were sent to his brother (my Dad), who turned the gun over to me when I joined the Westminster Regiment in World War II. The Westminster's were a tank support outfit, which served in the Canadian 5th Armoured Division, in Italy and Northwest Europe, ending up in the Netherlands. I am pleased that the old gun has found a new home, Jim Oldfield.

Is this neat stuff, or what???
