Tony Griffiths

Tony Griffiths is a retired electronics engineer whose family connection to Lithgow and its Commonwealth Small Arms Factory inspired him to write first a small history of the mysterious ‘Enfield Inch’, and then a two-volume history of the Small Arms Factory, ‘Lithgow’s Small Arms factory and its People 1907-1990’. Along the way he discovered the almost forgotten story of Australia’s civilian volunteers in British factories during WWI, including the saga of the Bahia Castillo, and wrote ‘An Industrial Invasion’. Current work is to explore the question: why .303?
