In Art at school (back in 1972) we were allowed to make a figure in clay. I made Marschall v. Blucher and I still have him. I also have a picture my father took of me in a childs size bombadiers uniform shirts and shorts (Hong Kong) on my 6th birthday (1962). the picture was fixed in place on a  pottery plaque but the varnish is a bit yellow now. It hangs on the wall of Narnia just above my writing desk.

I also acquired from somewhere -I haven't got a clue where from- a quite solid, pointy-ended bit of a 6pdr A/T shell complete with yellow band and brass ring. Makes an exceptionally good paper weight!
