I have one of these, original build at Enfield in 1896, conversion done by Vickers, Sons and Maxim in 1909. Very fine old rifle. Still looks and shoots good at 125 years old! Still has the sling on it also. Interestingly, from the specifications I have read they were supposed to remove the clearing rod as part of the conversion but this rifle still has it so I guess they weren't always completely consistant in adhering to details.

The "V.R." under the crown on the RH side stands for "Victoria Regina" which is Latin for 'Queen Victoria'. She died in January of 1901, so either this rifle was manufactured very early in the year, or they'd not got around to changing the stamp to 'ER' (for 'Edward Rex').

I also have several original clips. It does not have the volley sight. I have no idea where or how he got it, possibly during or right after WW II. He did serve in the South African reserve contingent of the British Army as a Bren Gunner. I have used it a few times to hunt and is in fairly good condition considering it is about 100 years old. I now keep it as a family heirloom.

I've seen pictures of what appear to be CLLE and possibly unmodified Long Lee/Lee-Metford rifles in colonial troops service in Burma in WWII, and in the hands of the Japanese puppet forces of the region like the Arakan Defense Force. What kind of information do we have about later colonial issue of early patterns or modified Lees at this time?
@turbogerbil2935
3 жыл бұрын
By WW2, most of the British arms from the region were built or refurbished in the various Indian arsenals. During and after WW1, all colonial units followed the same equipment standards as the regular British army. Thus these arsenals mostly followed the same upgrade specification as in Britain, but there are a whole series of variations under the name "India Pattern". These are an entire branch of Enfield identification and collecting. As for service use, Long Lees (and some P14s) were a common issue in pre-war militia and police units in the Asian colonies. However, most of these units later became mobilised into the regular Indian Army or the Burmese, Malay and Hong Kong battalions raised under their British garrisons. These all re-equipped with No1 rifles of either British or Indian origin (later with Australian, as the weapons pools became mixed). It should be noted that pre-war, most colonies only had armed police or militia, rather than regular military units. Quite often, these units were formed and funded by the local civilian colonial authority, or the Foreign Office back in Britain - and not by the British War Office. Because of this, the firearms were often purchased from the commercial trade (ie BSA, LSA, etc) or from military disposals sales. Hence older "sold out of service" military rifles or commercial-marked rifles were commonly used.

But some of the larger states had miniature armies with a battalion or two of infantry, a cavalry regiment and even an artillery battery in some. "The Imperial Service Troops were forces raised by the princely states of the British Indian Empire. These troops were available for service alongside the Indian Army when such service was requested by the British government. At the beginning of the 20th century, their total numbers were about 18,000 men. The troops were routinely inspected by British army officers and generally had the same equipment as soldiers in the British Indian Army.] Although their numbers were relatively small, the Imperial Service Troops were employed in China and British Somaliland in the first decade of the 20th century, and later saw action in the First World War and Second World War" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Service_Troops I would not be surprised if some of these troops were issued the CLLE See John Masters novel, THE RAVI LANCERS about such a unit in the Great War
