    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.

    Klamath Falls, OR. It's the closest town to us. About 25 miles. It's where we do All our shopping.

    I've seen many a headstones where long term married couples where one partner passes in most cases is followed shortly thereafter by the one left behind. (Clements headstones)
    Perhaps ringing truth into a "Broken Heart" can do you in! a sad thing it is.

    There doesn't seem to be much left if your life partner isn't there to share it. Not looking forward to it.

    Happened to the couple next door. She died at 95 and he within a couple months at 103. He had a DFC and she had a full rack from fueling aircraft on airfields...in WW2. I still miss them.

    This particular crew or the entire battalion?

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
