ONE OF THE GUNS OF THE "BUSH ARTILLERY", THE NAME GIVEN TO A GROUP OF INFANTRYMEN OF THE 9TH AUSTRALIAN DIVISION, WHO, ALTHOUGH NOT TRAINED AS GUNNERS, HAVE BROUGHT INTO ACTION SEVERAL CAPTURED ITALIAN .75 M.M. GUNS WITH MUCH SUCCESS AGAINST THEIR FORMER OWNERS. MOST OF THE 'BUSH GUNNERS' ARE ODD-JOB MEN, WHO PERFORM THEIR USUAL DUTIES IN ADDITION TO THEIR SHOOTING ACTIVITIES.
