    THEIRS IS THE GLORY

    Thought you might like to see a short independent film presentation by the Commonwealth Collection on the Battle for Arnhem.
    Film makers do make short films on the battle, as all Dutch people still hold the Parachute Regiment and the Polish Parachute Brigade dear. Every child in Oosterbeek each year places a flower on every grave in the graveyard there, it is always a very moving ceremony.
    The film Thiers is the Glory by Brian Desmond Hurst is highly reommended. Made a year after wars end in Arnhem it replayed the battle, using the Germanicon Tanks and equipment destroyed during the battle, and 200 lads who fought the battle.

    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.
