Connections like that have a way of making wars much more tangible

I would be very interested in seeing them

I'm sure they will be worth the wait....

In the meantime here's something to watch that relates to one of the units you are depicting...finally remembered where I had seen reference to 1st Madras Fusiliers in 1857:

Thanks, another interesting connection

As horrific as the description of the events are in the video there were several worse bits left out

It is hard to fathom how people can behave in such horrific ways

I am truly glad I haven't been challenged in the way they were

On a happier note

Delivered

I was working from home on my own all day     

They delivered it just before my wife and I were due to head out

Fortunately I noticed it at the door while she was still getting ready and relocated it to my office

To be fair that's not a bad delivery time. Mine can sometimes take 6 days to reach me and they have over 12,000 fewer km to travel.
