    Interestingly the chap who I refer to in post 3 and 9 did retain a souvenir of his WW1 service in the form of a bayonet which my mother and an uncle of mine remembers seeing as children in the 1940s. Sadly this bayonet doesn't seem to have survived in the family but by questioning my mother and uncle it sounds like it was probably a Germanicon bayonet. My mother never remembers it having a handle which may suggest it was just the blade, broken off from the rest of the bayonet. Whether or not it was the bayonet which injured him badly I don't know? Would Britishicon Army doctors/medics of the WW1 period have given the bayonet, if available, to the soldier who had been badly injured by it to keep as some sort of "souvenir"?

    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.
