Lee Enfield at War

That loks like a 'pole charge' being carried up the nearest ladder. Used for blowing gaps in barbed wire entanglements. I'm not sure that the small Infantry ones are used now but stand to be corrected. There is a monster version called a Giant Viper fired from a trailer, used for blowing a gap through minefields

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. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Thanks to everyone that posted the war pictures and the explanations of some things that were used during those times. Thoroughly enjoyed them.

Looks like a Centurion AVRE towing one of the special trailers mounted with the giant viper thinggies. I'd forgotten how effective they were!
