    Mr. Stratton was contracted by North Cape (Joe Poyer) to write a series of books based on the format and parts drawings/information supplied by Poyer. Stratton taught technical writing at the University of Idaho and was well qualified to research the available literature and write the books filling in around the information supplied by Poyer.

    Based on the items in Stratton's collection recently sold at auction, his collection of Enfields was modest with some needing simple repairs/parts. An EAL and a No.1 MkV were the highlights of the collection. His US arms collection was far more impressive which leads me to the conclusion that the Lees were business not a collecting love.
