Looks like the casualty being seen by the Doctor has a stomach wound. So not much chance for him back then !

Good Boer War scene Martyn ! :salute::

Excellent Martyn !:salute::

What with the then modern inventions of Machine Guns and Search Lights you're showing the Boer war to be a precursor to the First World War and then the Second with the constantly thrown accusations of the Concentration Camps and the British starving the internees. Overlooking the fact that more British Soldiers died of starvation than did Boer families due to the problems in part of transporting foodstuffs etc.

Another UK collector has given me this information :

He should contact Mike Norris at Little Legion who was a painter back in the day for trophy and might have some information or old catalogues etc that he might be able to scan and email to Luiz and his son.

Does that help???

Martyn...those are both such unusual sets from what I usually see on here...
a search light limber set and a hot air balloon...very cool...
looks like Little Legion tried things that nobody else dared...

Martyn,

I love the observation balloon crew! :salute:: I have a Heco Tinplate Models observation balloon and it is one of my favorites.

Hi Tom

Unfortunately I don't have the manufacturers name, I found it on UK Ebay. Patrick, The British Toy Soldier Company, has made a couple of balloons and this picture can also be found on the March London Toy Soldier thread

Cheers
