    I don't think he is a staff officer. There is another helmet if you look closely in the upper right corner of the Picture. So, there must be another guy sleeping in the rocks too. A staff officer wouldn't have a frayed sling. It looks like he has his CEOI in his left breast pocket. This is of course speculation on my part but I think this is one terrific legit photo of a 2d lieutenant who looks like more of a direct commission officer. He just has this "been there done that" look. JMHO.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction).
