    With a destroyed railroad bridge behind them, 3rd Infantry Division troops scramble from their assault boats onto the eastern bank of the river. Enemy opposition varied in intensity

    He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
    There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

    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.

    I know the 108 Combat Engineers (33rd Inf) had M1icon rifles during WW2. not only did they build bridges but also had to defend them too. Some of the communications companies that set-up the radios and
    wire to different locations all had carbines.
