    Nice pics Cinders of the vast countryside. I must have said it a thousand times but us Europeans, especially the poms, simply cannot even imagine the sheer size of Australiaicon. The safety and survival aspects of desert/bush travel was always drummed into us. Minimum of 3 vehicles, stick to the laterits dust roads (tracks?), cover and compasses. So big that we even conducted A bomb testing in SA. While I was there the UKicon RE's were clearing out the maralingra A bomb ranges. Used to meet up with a few of them, especially the REME blokes, in QLD/Enoggera on R&R. I hope that they all got the newly issued Atomic Test medal

    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 ...

    I hadn't heard about that until now. There's a couple of iterations...first one is issue and second is the purchase. Nice. I know a couple guys passed now should have that.

    Simple mistake. I think I've remembered the essential points though.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    Like our awards direct family can apply for the award Peter wife, brother, son, daughter.
    I have just done one for my father last year and gained him another 2 medals that he was entitled to but never applied for it was the least I could do for him and our family history.
