A neat picture. I wonder what the toy soldiers are. |

Ditto to 79thPA and what is the date of the picture? And source of the photo? |
| Bolingar | 13 Apr 2024 1:29 p.m. PST |
The photo comes from Navy and Army Illustrated, 1898, and is reproduced in Wikipedia. |

I'd taking a swingeing guess that the figures are from Britains Ltd as used by HG Wells. |
