    France Reburies Allied Soldiers Who Died in WWI

    FROMELLES, Franceicon — Hundreds of people have attended a ceremony in northern France to rebury the first of around 250 unidentified Britishicon and Australianicon soldiers who died in a World War I battle.

    Veterans Ministers Alan Griffin of Australia and Kevan Jones of Britain have joined soldiers and villagers for the ceremony on Saturday to rebury the remains.

    The bodies of the soldiers — who are being given full military honors — were found in 2008 among mass graves. Australian experts believe they were first buried by Germanicon troops who fought them.

    Similar burials are planned throughout February. A final ceremony is expected July 19 for the 94th anniversary of the battle of Fromelles, the first Australian combat operation on the Western Front.

    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.
