Thanks very much lancaster. And for all the interesting photos.

I did guess you might already have posted something on it, but didn't look. I haven't seen any of these photos anyway though.

As for that old cartridge being ineffective the Askaris were effective against the British East Africa forces armed with .303's though.

At one time I hoped to find an example of each to hang on my wall. Now I would need my gun bunker/stong room to be built to be able to hang at least one of them on a wall. The old M71 might pass as an unfiring antique.
