    He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
    There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

    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 ...

    But...the pic is taken toward friendly lines from the downrange area? Always makes me suspect a staging. Two guys at the back corner of the tank are unconcerned?

    you assume the direction of friendly lines perhaps it is a situation similar to image depicted below troops crossing an exposed area

    Not really, the two guys at the back of the tank are strolling head down. Then there's this other a few feet away. Then the photog standing still to shoot. If the fire is left/right, then why are the two at the back of the tank not worried...

    Because they are behind a building,much like the attached photo the soldier is standing there while the other is running across the,street. Not all photos are staged
    Could the photographer also be behind a building.we will never know

    Possibly. The actions of the medic look absolute, wish we knew where the fire was coming from.
