    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.

    That AFV suspiciously looks like a knocked out Panther judging by the wire roll behind the GI on the Rt of the flag standing plus you can just also make out behind his head the spare road wheel some carried on the Rt rear side of their turret.

    I'm fascinated by the integrated unit.

    Helmet

    Guy directly behind center of flag is holding what appears to be a captured pistol?
    Also the insignia on the front of his helmet has been blacked out.
    Good picture! Good stuff, thanks!

    The droop in the tracks indicate a PzKpfw V Panther. I also thought of a Bergpather recovery vehicle but I don't see a box "turret" which is indicative of the recovery tank version but the angles look slanted. Therfore, a standard MANN turret (?).

    The Civil War Book I am working on was an integrated unit with at least 4 African Americans confirmed.
