THE LEE-ENFIELD NUMBER 1 RIFLES by Alan M. Petrillo AUTOGRAPHED BY THE AUTHOR! The rifle that carried the British troops through the heart of the twentieth century, through the Great War and well on into World War II. A MUST for your British firearms library! *** The SMLE, or "Smelly," as it was affectionately called by the British troops, was a true product of the turn of the twentieth century. Born early in the 1900s, the rifle was a radical departure from military thinking of the time, for it was designed as a rifle for all troops---infantry, cavalry, and artillery. Thus the SMLE, later called the Number 1 rifle, was to continue in production through the early years of the Second World War. The Lee-Enfield Number 1 Rifles is the story of the rifles used by the British soldier during World War I---the Short Magazine Lee-Enfield. This book shows full-length views, closeups of actions, and parts of all Number 1 series rifles. It contains a general history of the series, with chapters on each mark, ranging from the Mark I through the Mark VI. Models converted from earlier rifles are included. CONTENTS: Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: General History Chapter 3: Number 1 Mark I Chapter 4: Number 1 Mark I* Chapter 5: Number 1 Mark I** Chapter 6: Number 1 Mark I*** Chapter 7: Number 1 Mark I Cond.
