    Korean War newspaper March 29 1951

    I had this newspaper in a drawer and decided to frame it for display.
    Took it to the local Hobby Lobby (great folks BTW) and had mats cut and Plexiglas
    placed on either side as to not obscure the back.
    Interesting subject matter given the current situation but here is the interesting part.
    About half way thru the process the gentleman that is helping me notices something amazing.
    March 29 1951 is the date on which he was born. He smiled and asked if he could take a photo of it.
    I think it made his day and it helped mine to see the look on his face.

    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 find it amazing that my father was called up for his National Service in the early 1950s, during the Korean War, and the problems with North Korea still haven't been resolved today in 2017. Fortunately, as it turned out, my father was classed as medically exempt from military service or I may not be here today.

    When I was about 9 years old, I found a scrapbook that someone had tossed in the trash. It contained newspaper clippings from WW2, and the Korean War. Somehow, I managed to hang onto it for 53 years. I recently scanned some of the more interesting clippings. This thread seems like a good place to post some of them.
