    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Yes, but they are a bit bunched up.
    Dangerous if close to the enemy.

    Yes, but I mean close enough for artillery fire.
    They must be quite to the rear if they can walk that peacefully.

    Trees haven't been shredded. Safe to assume that they are far enough back.

    Could be anywhere really Ardennes or Hurtgen thing is what the G.I's found out the hard way in Hurtgen was if you laid flat as trained to do when the mortars or arty shells were coming in was that nearly all of them burst in the tree tops which increased the beaten zones apart from exposing more of ones body to it. Also the splinters caused by the tree shattering could be just as lethal as the shrapnel, best to hide in a hole or stand upright behind a tree.

    Walking like that, could be anywhere anytime. No combat damage to the area. Might even be in training somewhere.

    Perhaps the telephone lines can give a lead. A pole resting on the left, signs of one on the right top [the box], probably were replaced.

    Looks like a road block cleared from the heaped stuff on each side.

    Road good condition, so no heavy traffic.

    Miserable day.
