Carry On Sergeant is a 1958 comedy movie, the first of the long-running "Carry On" series. The film follows the training of a motley bunch of called-up recruits at their National Service depot. Prior to his retirement, Sgt. Grimshaw (William Hartnell) takes on a bet that he can produce his first ever champion platoon by altering his approach, from barking orders to kindly encouragement. The ensemble cast features Bob Monkhouse, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Shirley Eaton, Kenneth Connor, Bill Owen, Eric Barker, Terry Scott, and Cyril Chamberlain.
The following weapons were used in the film NorahBatty/Sandbox:
Rifles & Carbines
Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I
All of the National Service recruits use the Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I rifle, fitted with the Spike where appropriate for bayonet training.
Private Heywood (Terence Longdon) cleans his rifle during a rest period, as Privates Golightly (Charles Hawtrey) and Galloway (Gerald Campion) amuse themselves.
Private Strong (Kenneth Connor) starts his bayonet charge.
Private Bailey (Kenneth Williams) offers instruction on the basic workings of the rifle to Private Brown (Norman Rossington)
Machine Gun
Bren MK1 Light Machine Gun
The recruits are trained to field-strip and operate the Bren Gun. From the look of the flash hider, the lack of rear grip, and the reference to a flip-up back sight it is assumed that this is the Mk2 Bren Gun. The use of the curved magazine indicates .303 British calibre.
The instructor (Cyril Chamberlain) demonstrates the workings of the Bren Gun to the recruits.
Private Sage (Bob Monkhouse) reassembles the previously field-stripped Bren gun.
Private Golightly (Charles Hawtrey) struggles to get his Bren Gun magazine orientated correctly...
Private Galloway (Gerald Campion) fails to raise his back sight.
