    Sad Day for Polish Army

    Talked to my best friend in Poland today and she told me her husband called from Afghanistan and they had 5 soldiers killed by a roadside bomb.

    Her husband Matt sent me a couple of emails today and like all professionals knows the dangers however you can read his sorrow between the lines.

    There is NEVER a good time for this to happen but I honestly can't think of a worse time. The families of these brave men will never view Christmas the same again.

    Meeting Matt this spring when they came to Canadaicon for their honeymoon makes his being there a constant source of worry for me. I hate it when I hear any Nato soldier looses their life and today for some reason it is just much more difficult. My friend was on patrol with a different group and he is safe, unfortunately five of his friends aren't and the grief their families are going thru now must be overwhelming.

    Time for a prayer for those who have gave their lives and all who served and continue to serve to right the wrongs in this world.

    Thursday is a National Day of Mourning in Poland, let us all in someway pay our respects.

    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
