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.

This is the classic American military formation known as "Hey diddle diddle, right down the middle." If they're looking for snipers they'll soon find them with this "tactical" formation. They probably didn't even notice the photographer.

Its funny you mention that, even in modern times, photographers and journalists will get soldiers to pose or stage in unrealistic or downright stupid ways just to take that representative perfect photo.

Oftentimes when someone is looking or gesturing at something in a overly dramatic fashion there is no one else there, been through a few a Silvia Pecota photo ops and they have always been entertaining.

I agree, it's hard to say what exactly is going on. I doubt they're in contact...
