    1917 FILM

    A good ex Parachute Regiment friend Paul Biddiss sent me this link to his website to show the lengths they went to to dig over a mile of WW1 trenches and rebuilt towns and buildings for the film.
    His role was to ensure ALL actors were dressed correctly and the weapon drills carried out correctly...........looking forward to the film released in January 2020.

    Trawl down to the PLAY sysmobol on each piece to play the footage of the tribulations they had on site:

    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.
