I purchased a book today titled "World War II in Color" and leafing through on page 110 I noticed a photo of a man with a Martini Henry.

The caption says "A sailor with a US Navy salvage detachment on Anzio tries out what seems to be a locally appropriated Martini-Henry rifle near his bunker living quarters at Anzio on April 15"

It shows a man aiming a Martini-Henry from the sandbagged entry to a fortified position.

Just figured I'd share this oddity with the group. Let you guys speculate on how it got there.
