As a British soldier serving in Italy I can only remember one occasion when I had an "un-authorised weapon"

The first entry in my diary reminds me when I found it:

Monday 16th. April 1945
Early morning move. Watched eytie squad burying some tedeschi dead.
Found Jerry rifle & ammo in the wood. Cpl.Boreman fixing the
charging engine.

The second entry reminds me when I got rid of it !

Sunday 22nd. April 1945
Woke to find mortar crew right at my head inyard right in front of
casa. Rations came up with T.R's kit (?). More prisoners. Slung
my 'spare' rifle. Moved into fields.
