Very nice picture.

I have one of my great grandfather and great uncle in uniform prior to ww1.

I got one too of my grandfather, fresh out of of academy and ready to go forth to meet the Hun.
He made it through the fray, but ended up with 2 extra belly buttons thanks to an Mg-08.
No worries though, he lived to the early 70's. He was in Churchill's regiment.

His words to me were " I popped off a fair number of Fritz because they were too busy fumbling with
their rifles whilst reloading."

Of course, he was using a No.1 Mk III. Same basic design though as the No.4. Enfields rule!
