Bullets from a German anti-tank rifle and a British rifle, France, during World War I

from National Library of Scotland

    The cartridge (not bullet) on the left is the .303 British. The cartridge was used by British forces in rifles and machine guns from 1888 until it was supplanted by the 7.62 NATO cartridge in the 1950s. Also, the spelling of the German should be Panzerbuechse. (The "u" should have an umlaut, but "ue" is a correct substitute.) I don't seem to be able to create an umlaut in Flickr.

  • Australian War Memorial collection said:
    You can read a little more about Private Hines in the online version of an exhibiton we did a few years ago called Fifty Australians. He became quite famous because of this photo, which was first published in late 1917.

    Thanks, Liz from AWM. That's a good piece about Mr. Hines which you have linked.
