gordontaos Posted 2 July , 2011 Share Posted 2 July , 2011 My Great Uncle, Pte. Thomas Spence was captured in March of 1918. He was in the 1/7th Black Watc, part of the 153rd. Inf. Brigade. Which version of the Lee-Enfield would he have been carrying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted 2 July , 2011 Share Posted 2 July , 2011 By 1918 there were only SMLE Mark III and Mark III* rifles in the field, so that is what he would have been carrying. The only difference between them was that the Mark III* had been slightly simplified to ease production; lack of volley sights, magazine cut-off, windage adjustment on rear sight etc. regards TonyE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
