Army troops on board a LCT, ready to ride across the English Channel to France. Some of these men wear 4th Infantry Division or 101st Airborne Division insignia.

June 12th 1944.

I saw 4 Garands and 2 carbines

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.

I wonder if they'd still be smilin' so widely if it were explained that they were going over to replace all the guys killed six days before...and they likely wouldn't last a week.
