I've just finished the command stand for 4th Armoured Brigade 1941. On the night of 22nd November 1941 the HQ of 4th Armoured Brigade had a surprise visit from Afrika Korps and virtually the whole kit and kaboodle was captured. Fortunately, the CO, Brigadier General Alexander Gatehouse was away at a meeting of senior commanders and escaped being put into the bag. Without his HQ vehicles Gatehouse was forced to adopt an more unusual mode of transport. The regimental history of the Transvaal Scottish records: " …in sailed Alex Gatehouse, the gay cavalier of the armour……….with a rug belted around his waist like a kilt, riding into battle seated in an arm-chair strapped to the top of a tank. Gatehouse…..was a man after Pienaar's heart.." That is too much to resist.

Fan-tastic!  Gorgeously painted. I really like the scheme on the tank. That's one of the best vignettes I've ever seen. |
