Lee-Enfield Rifle No. 5 Mk. I ('Jungle Carbine') on tripod

[Peter Laidler]

My dad taught me to aim and shoot from one of those rests when I was little, using a No8. When I'd aimed and consistently hit the bull, he let me use the rifle in the prone position over a sandbag. My scores have gone downhill ever since!

Are they overlooking the sea? Is that a ship in the background?

Peter, I didn't know that you were once a little kid, I just thought you'd been a big kid all your life.

Yes to both, Peter - the photo's not captioned unfortunately, but I suspect it was taken in Haifa, overlooking the bay.
