    Picture 3 is :-
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    Post four on vehicles are all 4 inch smoke dischargers.
    This was the final resting place for a great number Canadianicon Ross rifles.
    As to the original pictures, the first one appears to fit onto something so I would venture a guess as a smoke discharger same as with No.3 with No.2 possibly being a Mills bomb or VB launcher.
    Or, a wookie blaster from Star Wars....

    What a handheld or shoulder controlled handful that would be. Fire a shot, get up off the ground, reload...

    The first photo is quite likely to be Captain Worzal Gummidge of the Royal Army Medical Corps and his newly invented device for measuring temperature of suspected Spanish flu victims from 6 feet away. Positive results could be treated with the second barrel, just above the big one. Legend has it that Captain Gummidge's device and his service were short lived past this photo.
    Trying to save Service history, one rifle at a time...
