    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.

    Probably just ran out of fuel and was abandoned.

    It started a few years earlier, at the battle of Agincourt 1415 English archers recovered their arrows from the enemy positions and their bodies! Those arrows don't make themselves!

    Nice to see Uncle Sams troops making the most of a good opportunity.

    Agincourt

    Maybe the most lop-sided victory in military history.
