@Jurgen123445 not to mention massive piles of WW1 surplus P1914 enfield's that were used by home guard as the Army never used the rifle in mainland europe, along with that, on top of that there were 75,000 Mk111 Ross rifles provided by Canada, and then there was America;
General George Marshall, the US Chief of Staff, told Roosevelt that the army could sell Britain 500,000 M1917 Enfield rifles of First World War vintage, plus 250 rounds for each weapon, 25,000 Browning automatic rifles, 900 howitzers, 22,000 machine guns and 500 mortars. 900 tons of supplies, before lend lease was even enacted, the arms lost at Dunkirk were rapidly replaced.
