Over 800,000 between 1940 and 1941, actually.
Most of those shipments of rifles went directly to combat troops. A small number of the rifles were kept for the Home Guard, but a lot of them weren't even issued a single bullet for their weapon. As the privately donated weapons and ammo came in to be given to the Home Guard, their Enfields were sent to combat troops as well.
