JJ is correct ! Additionally, of course, the ladies seem to be armed with Werder rifles (Bavarian ?) but it is admittedly difficult to determine, given the lack of detail in the illo…and the distraction… |

I'd like to see the living embodiment of them… |

Of course, now I need to know where I can get appropriate figures for the 5th Rgt, they are clearly overlooked entirely at the moment! |

Coopman – Gillette introduced the first safety razor marketed to women in 1915. It must be 1916…their legs are shaved… |

Surely someone is making them in 25mm. Love the boots and the caps. |

The position displayed is not recommended for live firing, as flash from the percussion cap may set the firer's hair aflame. |
