"Soldier Magazine? Mid 70's" Topic

Wondered if anyone knew of or remembered this magazine. I remember I paid what at the time was an outrageous amount of money for it. I believe it featured a British colonial soldier on the cover. Inside was an article about converting Airfix Napoleonic French infantry into Mexican infantry for the Alamo. A whole beautiful article on reconstructing the Alamo. This was my first wargaming purchase…my Holy Grail if you will. Would like to track it down if anyone remembers it. Thanks!

Remmember it and sold Vol 1 Issue 1 on Ebay several years ago.

I ahd obtained one or two copies back in the 1980s when I was in a London book store.

I think there were only two issues weren't there?

People, I think, are remembering select bits from Soldier and Soldier On. I have both in my collection.

I found my copy among the container full of 'Army and navy' and 'War Monthly' and other hard to find UK magazines (about 50 of them)

It was volume 1, #2 October 1969.

This one was "obtained" at Hampden Drug, a tiny little drug store in a tiny little backwoods town in Massachusetts. God knows how it got there. Such an obscure, expensive magazine on an all but unknown hobby for a small town. I'll never forget the conversion of Airfix figures to Mexican infantry, was like a bolt out of the blue…Wish I kept it. Mothers are the great disposers boyhood treasure.
