    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.

    What is the mark or logo on the back of the shirts of the two Marines pulling the POW out of his hole?

    What I love about that is all the muzzle awareness (much discussed with previous WWII photos). One bloke has his carbine pointed at the officer's groin and another has his carbine pointed at another bloke's bum.

    Also looks to be an "M" in the half circle. Imagine if this scenario were on the other foot. An American Marine would not have fared as well.

    Perhaps "Mike" coy of whatever... The conjecture here of where the muzzles are pointing during combat is always silly. People applying range rules. If it's on safe I'm fine with it. Been there, done that.

    Just recently the close quarter battle schools in North America have stopped with shifting muzzles around when you're moving in combat. They tell you "You're in combat, get used to it". That's a fact.

    A scene in SPR always struck me as odd when they're walking and pvt Opum (SP) is demonstrating horrible muzzle control and the medic comments as such. That just didn't fit in and I rather doubt it would have been a big deal back then.

    That one's always been a thorn when I watch that movie.
