The Lee–Metford (also known as the Magazine Lee–Metford) is a British bolt action rifle which combined James Paris Lee’s rear-locking bolt system and detachable magazine with an innovative seven-groove rifled barrel designed by William Ellis Metford. It replaced the Martini–Henry as the standard service rifle of the British Empire in 1888, following nine years of development and trials, but remained in service for only a short time until replaced by the Lee–Enfield.

 

The Boer War, also known as the Second Boer War or the South African War, was a conflict between Great Britain and the two Boer (Afrikaner) republics, the South African Republic (Transvaal) and the Orange Free State, from 1899 to 1902. The war resulted in a British victory, but it was a costly and brutal affair for both sides.
