I noticed the rifle - I have SMLE .303 rifle which saw service in WW1 and the lever action stuck out to me in the image. Having said that maybe the photo was taken the day he got his plume, at home, and that's the rifle that came to hand? Who knows? Unlikely he would have gone to war with it I think.

Planning to do a post about my .303. I have the bayonet and all the numbers match too. Fired it a few times as well. She's a beauty. Scratched and dented but works a charm.

If you get the chance get to the WF. My sis went to Gallipoli, I haven't been yet.
