This picture appeared in my home town morning paper today. I couldn't help noticing the rifle wa an M1903. Just a local guy getting in some hunting wherever he could during the war.

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.

The terrain looks very rough. Nice rifle though.

Hunting in 1944 in Sardinia? Oh, my!

**Sunray** · 07-03-2009 11:36 PM

There's a whole lot of 'up there' in Sardinia. Looks like an air crew jacket he's wearing.

Having time to hunt in 1944 also leads me to believe this fellow might have been in the air corp. Somewhere, I have some pictures of my Uncle Ed Sullivan wearing a similar jacket. He served in the air corp in Italy icon

during WW2

In many respects the Italian icon

and Korean campaigns were similar. Only two directions, uphill and downhill.
