    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.

    Other things aside, I see the individual without headress wearing a pistol belt with two carbine 30 rd mag pouches. His personal weapon seems to be a rifle. Also he has two Carlisle pouches. Interesting...

    I think the picture is addressed to "Mallary" and the signer is Dick Winters. The infamous Major Dick Winters of Band of Brothers. I think that's him with the helmet on.

    Are those 30 round Carbine mag pouches?

    That first pic is sweet. I don't normally see pics of a guy with a garand jumping out of a helicopter.

    I believe the term would be the Famous Maj. Winters.
    It does looks like him in the first photo but I thought his service ended after he was recalled in 1951.
    The date and the pics confused me.....Frank

    RIP Major Winters. The only thing good about Dish Network is they rerun Band Of Brothers quite often. If anyone needs a good book this winter the Stephen Ambrose book Band Of Brothers (on which the series is based) is a wonderful book.

    I can piggy back that with "Citizen Soldiers" by the same author....
