Hello Ray

lovely figures, just a little quibble I don't see the link with Wales for the 24th. Up to 1881 they were at best a Brummagen regiment (2nd. Warwickshire). Do you have any evidence for pre 1881 Welshness? (Also it was the 24th. at Rorke's Drift not the 23rd.)

Thanks a lot Ray,

It wasn't you it was pabblo with the Rorke's Drift thing, my mistake. Still, I look forward with eager anticipation for your Horse being shown here. And i can tell you I will be stealing your colour schemes for my WSS British!

Ray,

Very nice, Sir. Any more like that and Clarence will be redundant! OK, I've completed my twelve battalions of infantry so, in about two years time when I get the cavalry and artillery done, I'll be asking you to knock one of those up for me.

It looks great.

Ray,

That roster looks great!

Question, did you purposely leave off the tick boxes for unit strengths?

Ray,

What were the two straps going down each bugler's back used for?

Nicely done. Looks like overpainting the buttonhole lace on the troopers worked out ok.
