Would like my DAD to hold a Lee Enfield No.4Mk1(T) after 70 years

Will be visiting dad late in May this year. Spoke to him last night and told him that I was hoping to get a photograph of the trophy that his name was on, when he won the shooting competition in Calgary in the 50's. This triggered a story of when he was shooting at Bisley during WW2. He witnessed a Company Sgt Major instructor, fire 46 rounds in 1 minute, he was standing in a trench leaning on its edge with clips of ammunition all laid out by his right hand. Dad said when he was firing, his hand was a blur. He hit 45 bulls and 1 inner, dad couldn’t remember what the range was, but he did say that if he hadn’t been there, he wouldn’t have believed it. Some story!

Have asked him when I'm over, to elaborate on his time training the Home Guard at Stirling Castle, hope to video it.
