    I haven't heard the media mention "Blast-Lung Injury" at all but presumably some of the casualties in Beirut have this condition and presumably some have sadly died from it. Sometimes a casualty who has died with this condition can appear to have no external injury but the person's lungs have been destroyed by the blast from an explosion. There is only so much that the human body can take.

    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, just the other day the episode of World At War covering the Blitz was being shown on Freeview TV, and there was the interview with a couple that where she described losing both her children and mother in a raid on Plymouth, and the husband who was in the Navy at the time and described getting back from Devonport yard that day after the raid and looking at his two dead children and describing how they had no injuries or marks on them at all, and just looked like they were asleep.
