The 20-man Canadian team at Bisley in 1934 did very, very well. They won both the Kolapore and Mackinnon Cups, as well as having the Gold Cross Aggregate winner.
The Aggregate winner was PJ Martinson of the Three Rivers Regiment. The Globe and Mail article identifies him as a private, although in the photo he's clearly wearing sergeants stripes.
The Kolapore Cup was for the highest scoring eight-man team from the Empire. The Canadian team's captain was Captain Bishop, the adjutant was Lt Col Utton and the coach was Lt Col Letson. The team shooters were Sergeant Borland, Private Martinson, Lieutenant Dow, CSM Emslie, Lieutenant McLeod, Captain Lucas, Corporal Beaumont and Lieutenant Sweet.
The Mackinnon Cup was for the best twelve-man team, again from the Empire. The team captain was Captain Bishop, the adjutant was Lieutenant Johnson, and the coaches were Lt Col Letson and Sergeant Stock. The team shooters were Sergeant McLeod, Private Martinson, Lieutenant Dow, SMI Trainor, Corporal Beaumont, Sergeant Borland, Captain Lucas, Lieutenant Sweet, Private Hamilton, CSM Emslie, CQMS Parnell and Lt Col Utton.
Cheers,
Dan.
