Posts: 3831 (03/14/09 02:57 PM) Host More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	Tags : None Hi, folks! It's time for the next installment of our monthly C&R/Milsurp Photo Contest! I'll keep this thead open for entries until 6pm Central on Saturday, 28 March. As usual, here's my unofficial entry for the month: a minty unissued Fazakerley No.4 Mk2 -- this was one of the "mummy wrapped" examples that was imported a few years back. The S/N puts this rifle in the range of the "Irish Contract" rifles (and since this is March's contest, I figured a Irish Contract rifle was appropriate. ) Let's see what everyone else has! Cheers, ~ Greg ~ "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.

The backdrop consists of a box of WWII Remington UMC manufactured .45 ACP ammunition, a Patton's 3rd Army patch, and a 1945 M1 Helmet against which the pistol is propped. Tim

England: Jan. 4, 1903, enlisted & mustered in Company E, 2nd Regiment of Infantry, Brigade Rhode Island Militia; May 18, 1906, commissioned 2nd Lieutenant; April 15, 1907, Brigade Rhode Island Militia designation changed to Rhode Island National Guard, by General Order #9; Company E, 2nd Regiment of Infantry designation changed to 13th Company, Coast Artillery Corps, by General Order #26; Jan. 18, 1911, commissioned 1st Lieutenant; May 12, 1913, passed Coast Artillery basic course examination & range & communication officers course; Nov. 11, 1914, commissioned Captain; Sept. 7, 1915, won pistol championship match; score of 109; July 25, 1917, called into Federal service; Aug. 5, 1917, discharged & drafted into service of the United States & discharged from the State militia by act of Congress of June 3, 1916; placed on retired list of commissioned officers of the Rhode Island National Guard to date from Aug. 5, 1917, with rank of Major by General Order #6, March 2, 1920 - end of record. Searching other sources I find a John Edward England, age 23, of Central Falls, employed as a Moulder, born England, son of Daniel & Maria marrying Elizabeth Estelle Grundy, age 21, of Pawtucket, born Central Falls, RI, daughter of Thomas & Maria on Aug. 22, 1905, by Edward F. Carrigan, Roman Catholic Priest. Note: no record of death located for this individual per statewide search through 1958 (last year available at our office). However, I do find a record for the wife dying in Central Falls on July 25, 1934, age 49. She is noted as the divorced wife of John England. Searching Central Falls / Pawtucket directories I find the last reference occurring for John England in 1915. After that date wife listed only. Couple must have split up on or/about this time period. Perhaps John removed to / died in nearby MA. Central Falls & Pawtucket border both Seekonk & Attleboro, MA Ken Carlson Reference Archivist NRA--Benefactor member Stand Up And Save The Second Amendment One For All And All For One Last Edited By: modar 03/27/09 10:26 AM.
