    The quite hero

    This is the story of George E. Wahlen. He won the Medal of Honor while serving as a corpsman on Iwo Jima. He was wounded on 3 seprate occasions, twice he refused to be evacuated on the third time he was shot in the legs and crawled in front of the lines and drug a wounded Marine back. He was then evacuated and while recuporating was awarded the Navey Cross with gold star in lue of second award. It was then upgraded to the Medal of Honor when it was mistakenly thought he had died. It is a well written story of an unassuming man that did what he thought had to be done.

    I would recimend this book.

    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.
