    The Home garrison was not the VDC.. The well trained men were seperate from the VDC they were regular soldiers that never left Australiaicon. Three groups two regular one volunteers.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Yep it was the AIF (deployed for overseas), AMF for the permanent forces based within Australiaicon for the Defence of Australia and the VDC.

    But my reference to forces coming back from overseas and using some No.4s whilst training before heading back overseas was the AIF and not the AMF nor the VDC.

    The number No4 with the flip battle sight was not liked nor the only single use pig sticker.
