MAY 21, 1918 - LeHavre, France icon

: So we got to France at Le Havre. There we turned in our guns and got British icon

guns.

The 82nd WAS issued "British guns" when they arrived in France - British SMLEs. The 82nd was initially put in the line with a British division for training. Hence the confusion about what rifle he really used in the MOH action (not saying it was or wasn't an '03

).

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.

That debate will probably go on forever and we'll probably never know for sure!

All we do know for sure is Sgt. York used a Luger because I have the DVD and I saw it with my own two eyes.

Did not the USMC receive large quantities of M 1917's postwar ?? Was there an experimental rear sight that was modified for windage promoted or tested by the Marines ? I would not discount combat usage of M 1917;s in WW ! based on dearth of photographic evidence. But that's just me .
