The Summer number of the BFFS Journal arrived yesterday … and a very good read it is. 20 pages … lots of inspiring figures but also a couple of articles of special interest …

Simon Hoggett on the Mohr 'Gypsy' encampment – 'Das Zigeunerlager' – and a darker reading of its relationship to changing, sometimes controversial, attitudes to social minorities.

… and, close to my interests, of course, is an attempt to trace/catalogue the Otto Gottstein dioramas of great events from British military history (which were originally displayed in the Royal United Services Museum until broken up) …

Anyway, here's the list RUSI and Gottstein had as Great British Military Events … 1: the Landing of the Romans in 55BC; 2: the Battle of Hastings; 3: the Storming of Acre; 4: the Battle of Crecy; 5: the Field of the Cloth of Gold; 6: Elizabeth reviewing the troops at Tilbury; 7: the Battle of Marston Moor; 8: the Battle of Blenheim; 9: the Battle of Plassey; 10: the Battle of Quebec; 11: the Old Guard at Waterloo; 12: the Charge of the Light Brigade; 13: the Battle of Ulundi; 14: the Battle of Flers; 15: the D-Day Landings in Normandy.

- an inspiring list … and the article sets out to see what has happened to them.

An enjoyable distraction.

Here's one of those Gottstein dioramas … the battle of Quebec in the Sussex Regiment Museum (Eastbourne Redoubt)

Splendid stuff … hopefully all these great dioramas will be traced, refurbished and be enjoyed by visitors..

Very nice, what of the second battle of quebec? The results were rather 'reversed' but without the panic
