Use in CombatMany of the arms sent over by the committee ended up being used by the UK Home Guard, such as those shown in this picture.[5] Hession's RiflePerhaps the best known example from the era was Major John W. Hession's rifle,[6] a Springfield SN 264631. When it was sent over for use in the war it bore two inscribed nameplates. One contained information about the owner,[6] and the other said: "For obvious reasons the return of this rifle after Germany is defeated would be deeply appreciated".[7] Hession was a marksman at the 1908 Olympics.[8] See also
