    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 seem to associate this one with the Tet offensive. Don't know why.

    I'm sure I had that picture in a book about "Nam", and it was indeed the Tet Offensive. Most probably Hue. It was together with another more famous one of a group of Marines hiding behind a low wall with the M60 gunner firing from over it.
