When I was at the IWM, I bought this commemorative publication, if you look closely, you can see the wooden cheek rest on the No4 rifles stock being carried by one of the soldiers on the beach, no telescope installed

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.

That's a very good pickup. Wonder is it was one of the scopeless examples or if it was in the can in his backpack.
I was watching the World At War recently and the No4 T turned up a couple of times. Somewhere I saw in a documentary a German icon

with a No4T too.

I would guess the scope is in the can tucked away nice in dry just and case he and the rifle had a bath during the landing.
