1 x company Gordon Highlanders

By Jove Sir -some of those Johnnies have Lee Enfields!!
This is outstanding -I love the last shot of the Highland officer storming the sangar. It reminds me of pictures of a similar action in one of the classic Featherstone books. |

Bretwalda, My only connection to Pat and his Silver Whistle blog is as a long-time follower and fan, but I can answer one of your questions: the Pathans are a mix of 2 ranges -- Wargames Foundry North-West Frontier, and the brand-new Empress Miniatures "Jazz Age Imperialism" Pathans for the Third Afghan War and Waziristan campaigns (1919-1921). |
