A platoon now a days is a complete fighting unit by itself, it consists of 4 sections, No. 1 section consist of riflemen, No. 2 section bombers, No. 3 section rifle grenadiers, No. 4 section Lewis gunners. Although these men belong to these sections & have the special equipment & amunition for such they all carry their rifle as well but the riflemen do the chief part of charging bayonet work, etc. & striking.
