On 26 January 1907, the iconic Lee-Enfield Mk III rifle, also known by its initials SMLE (Short Magazine Lee-Enfield), was introduced. It was named after James Paris Lee, the designer of the rifle's bolt system, and the location of the factory where it was designed, the Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield, UK. It was the main rifle of the British Army and several Commonwealth countries during the first half of the 20th century and was used in both World Wars.
