    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.

    They were lucky to have been captured. They survived.

    I had a Sgt Major in '76/'77 that had been in one of the youth groups during that. He used to start his "O" groups with "When I was on the other side and the bullets were against me"... I think he was even younger. Just little like the defenders of Berlin.

    At the end of WWII in Germanyicon there were plenty of armed 13 year old kids with rifles and Panzerfausts. The same thing is happening today in Africa and the middle east. We don't get smarter and nothing changes.
