Richard Farrant Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Great story here of an old vet who still has the skills!:shocked: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0d1_1299338081 That was something else, the guy's eyesight is still good. Well done to him, he deserved it. Many years ago, when my family used to do target rifle shooting on Hythe Ranges, an old boy used to come along with my grandfather, he would have been in his late 80's I would have thought. He was a Boer War veteran, then later an instructor at the School of Musketry which was in Hythe at the time (pre WW1 this is). He was still a sharp shot with a .303 Lee Enfield. It is only recently I found out that he was sent out to the Boxer Rebellion in China, so he would have had some shooting experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Fantastic story. I recognised the guys DI as the 395th Inf btn. I have the book "Butlers battlin Blue Bas -chaps" about them. I have not read it for years, but will put it in my read pile. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
