I recently bought a book from a fellow gunnut (Talquin) and thought some of the pictures where worth posting, the captions cover all. I would love to have some of the Lee Enfields and more.

it's a government printing of Canada at War. printed in 1919 by the canadian press. intro written by robert borden .
 
WW1 books

I have three very old books, about the size of a big encyclopedia, edited in 1918 on the Great War, from the belligerent nations' various alliances prior to 1914, to the situation in the Balkans, to the description day by day of every significant action on the various battlefields, all this heavily illustrated with pictures.
There are even plans with cutouts and foldouts of some tanks and pieces of artillery.
Since the editor isn't in business anymore, I wonder if I could publish some pages from time to time on this forum...
PP. :)
 
I think most stuff goes into the public domain after 50 years or so, at least it does with the old time radio episodes I air on my show!
Post away!

As per the Copyright Acthttp://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/C-42/index.html, copyright in a work exists for the life of the author/creator, the remainder of the calendar year in which he is deceased, plus fifty years after the end of that calendar year.

For government copyrighted works, there is a slight difference. Section 12 of the Copyright Act stipulates:

[S.C. 1993, c. 44, s. 60(1)]”
 
Note the armoured jackets on some of the German Maxims.
Incidentally, none of the firearms in these photos are milsurps. That came later. When these phots were taken, these were service arms.
