    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). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Wow! Those are really beautiful sculptures. Would it be correct to call them members of a Commando?

    It's in Canberra on Anzac Avenue dedicated on 31 May 2017.

    Beautiful sculptures/castings.

    Beautiful!

    That may be the nicest-looking, best-done memorial of its type that I have ever seen.

    I have no doubt that Harry Morant would approve.

    Nice to see those who served being respected. Boer War Memorial marking Australias first foreign conflict unveiled in Canberra - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Here they are trying to erase history by removing statues.
