I can't tell if the algorithm just wants me to be happy, or if this is a savage burn on my nerdiness.

The CWGC forgot where they buried the body??!!!!! Shameful

Good episode again, my cup of coffee every morning. Thanks Taff and others for this content!

I have a 1917 SMLE Enfield no.1 mk3

Lovely to see them in such great condition.

Always worth listening to Richard. Thank you

Wonderful video! Looks like the precursor to our modern war games.

As always, superb talk by Richard.

I wish there were more pictures published as in albums they are never seen. Then there is the travesty that so few film and pictures are used for articles and TV. They use the same archive footage again and again, and often quite the wrong time frame for the production. There is more out there but so hard to access. I'd love to see anything with the 12 London Regiment, The Rangers.

Another excellent Hutvent, thank you Richard!

really beautiful rifle I really wish I had a section 1 license

Very informative Taff

Great to see Richard as a guest, another great Hutvent !

Another superb presentation; very nice to see Richard again.

An excellent video, as always. Thanks Taff.

Thanks Lyndsay, the carbine still looks to be quite a long rifle, certainly compared to modern weapons.

Oh wow I don't see alot of these

Another excellent Hutvent presentation. Thank you. A really clear explanation about how fuzes work and the 'explosive train'.

I have one of those shorter pointy 1903 bayonets in Australia, stamped R.F.I. on the end of the pommel. Do you know what those letters mean?

Fantastic content as always guys, Taff I'm probably wrong (as you didn't mention it) but I have also heard that as a lot of high ranking officers were cavalry officers who believed the cavalry would play a heavy part in the war, they wanted a longer bayonet to allow infantry to attack mounted troops, is this just a myth? Thanks so much.

Excellent Lyndsay, you are so lucky to have all these amazing items.

Wonderful story.

Incredible!

Heia Safari !

Nice one, Lyndsay !

Excellent presentation...!

Incredibly informative as always, thank again.

Nice detail, very enjoyable Kev. Keep them coming!

Thank you for a very informative presentation. Some years ago I purchased a Lithgow, Australia-made Mk III SMLE made in 1916. It does not have the stacking swivel, probably removed when the rifle was refurbished in 1942 per stamps on the fore stock. It is a very good shooter with a pristine bore. I load my own .303 and have found an optic mount that does not require drilling or tapping for mounting. I also own a Mauser K98k but prefer the Enfield actually.

Grierson also conducted a wargame in 1905 where he assessed the British Army's mobilisation plans. The results from that wargame led to a major revision of the existing plan. Without this work, the BEF would have been unable to mobilise so quickly in August 1914.

The standard of Hutvent films is always high, but this one stands out as especially good. These huts remain as an often overlooked reminder of the Great War in so many towns and villages. Often name The Memorial Hall or similar, they continue to give sterling service to the communities who sent their young men to war.

Fantastic story Taff, you do spin a good yarn.

Amazing, thank you

Superb as always from Peter!

Great stuff, thanks Lyndsay.

Brilliant! So nice to see an original Aussy SD cap.

I’ve got a photo of my Great Grandfather in 1916 with his stiff peck cap before leaving Australia to heading to the UK.

Thanks Lyndsay, a great piece of history. You can see why the Broderick cap was so unpopular, it looks awful!

Odd comment, but is there a chance that you might be able to confirm the diameter of the main brass tube?... Looking to make a replica for the Channel.... Can't kind full specs anywhere.. the pam shows the length, etc,...but not the diameter... Cheers, and great to see these little known, early pattern grenades.

Well done Kevin very informative

That deadpan stare at the end, you can hear him think, "They should have listed to him a year ago"

Very informative, thank you.

Well I've never seen those before! Keep 'em coming.

Very enjoyable, always nice to learn something new, cheers Kev.

Nice one Taff, nice relics, as you said the escape of the shore party is another story, I think one of the greatest escape stories ever, proper" boys own" stuff.

What a very interesting story thank you Taff

Fantastic presentation.
