It is true that Anarchism, Nihilism, and Pacifism have been around for ages, but the impact of WWI, I believe heightened them. As for Communism, it may have existed in the shadows prior to WWI, but the war ignited the Russian Revolution in 1917, and brought this political ideology to the...

As a sidebar thought...... Silent reminder of the cost of war in the 100th anniversary of the Great War; when war is caused by inept or power hungry leaders and politicians, compounded by WMD (e.g. new chemical warfare & rapid fire weaponry). Cost of WWI: Military Loss of Life...

I have purchased hundreds of Britains (Boxed and in Clamshell) and thankfully no problems to-date. I retain all packaging since I rotate the displays. What I would like to see going forward is that Britains continue with the practice of imprinting the figure's cataloque number on the underside...

Re: The Standard no 42 - Mortar Piece For those interested in getting additional mortars to scale to supplement one to be produced by Britains, consider getting the one by Americana Toy Soldiers (you will need to paint it since it comes in an old brass/copper-like finish). The mortar barge is...

Excellent presentation. Would add a brass plate on base to finish it. Lt. General Sir John Monash, GCMG, KCB, VD. Officer Commanding Australian Corps 1918

Paul, Got it from the Internet. Under Search, selected Images, and looked for e.g. Grass Fields. Once I get the image I like for my scene, I save it, then using Photoshop or Windows Paint, I reverse / flip the image, and save the reverse image using a different name. Then I print both images...

Gentlemen, Since my last posting, I've added a Ford Model T Ambulance (classified in the field in WWI as a "Light Ambulance"), which had very limited capacity but were abundant. I've placed a seated Stretcher Bear / Driver taking a pipe break on the ambulance's running board while the vehicle...
