I found this film while looking for info on the NF&O 37mm AT Gun. Go to http://www.oorloginblik.nl/lijst and enter "Militaire oefeningen in west-indie" in the search box. You should get three films returned. Watch the first one.

Thanks for sharing! I wonder where all the rifles went?

[Adriaan de Jong 0]

two of them went to me....

For your Information: West Indie=Suriname.

I know from fellow Dutch collectors that the Johnson's were employed there after WW II.

Unfortunately I haven't been able sofar to find out much about the whereabouts of the Johnson's that were not delivered to the Dutch East Indies or where exactly they were used after WW II untill the Dutch stopped using them and sold them off.
