    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.

    Any idea what the story was behind this picture? All seem to be looking up with some nervous expectation. I wonder what they see?

    Don't know, but the cameraman is pretty much exposed.

    Takes a lot of dicpline not to drop the Kodak and pick up an M1icon when the lead is in the wind. Brave lads.

    It wouldn't be in his discipline to pick up a rifle. He would likely be a civilian and not a combatant...I think...

    They called the move to Bastogne "the tailgate jump" because they were brought in by truck
