Short Magazine Lee Enfield Rifle

"In 1920, my great grandmother threw two revolvers into the local river and buried this rifle wrapped in hessian sacking in the acre adjacent to her cottage. My father found it when planting potatoes in the 1970s. The bayonet, a grenade, belt and gators from the uniform of a British Auxiliary were also found in the cottage in the 1970s. All these artefacts (as well as many other objects and specimens) are now on view in my antiquarian bookshop; Gadaí Dubh Books, in Ballymakeera village, Macroom, Co. Cork. Gadaí Dubh Books is on Facebook."
