My father participated in the 1957 elimination match. He fired the BAR. My mother recently gave me some mementos he kept from the event. Here are some photos of the program handed out that year.

Hi all, new to this forum, trying to see what is out on the internet about my dad, Robert Parsons. I believe in 1958 he won the prix Leclerc pistol competition for the US, and in 1959, his team mate took first, and he took second place. The next time I visit my mom, I will take some pics of his trophy's and medals, and post them for all to enjoy.

At one time, many photo and Films could be viewed Live! Sadley , most older, unimportant stuff was taken off being able to be viewed. However, if you join the IWM, then order items to view or photos sent. Not sure how they deal with 35mm Films? it will not be cheap.
Note the Nat 1630 Cat No
I will add some more info in next mail here
