Just been watching a Forgotten Heroes of WW1 episode and a thought struck me....
......the Lee Enfield Rifles the lads carried into France in 1914/18 looked (at least on screen) to be the same as the ones their descendants carried into France once again in 1939/45 ..
........so..
...was there any difference at all/if any between WW1 Lee Enfields and WW2????....
and seeing as the British Army carried them for a good few more years after WW2 ..was there ...any much of a difference between the last ones issued and the very first ones??
