  1. Two Boer wars on record Ian, not several. And I always wonder why in just under 40 yrs since I first fired a Rifle No4, never heard them called smellies in the UK only ever heard it on the www from non UK sources. Ess emm ell ees is fine for me :-)

  2. Lovely video Ian - I always learn something, and this time it was about how that nose cap was there to avoid the bayonet attaching to the barrel. Never apologise about the length of your videos - we have pause buttons nowadays while we top up the whisky and settle down for more wisdom and charm from you.
