The Russian Flag bearers have always been my favorite Trophy foot figures. Had a shot at them years back but they didn't fit my collecting pattern at the time, so I passed. Another brilliant move by moi.:rolleyes2: At any rate, the flags are superb. -- Al

I should have been a bit more precise, it is the flag of the 1st Battalion, York and Lancaster Regiment

Here is some info on the 1st Battalion care of Wikipedia.

After amalgamation in the army reform of 1881 the new 1st Battalion of the York and Lancaster Regiment were based in Bengal, India. In 1882 they were shipped to Aden while the 2nd Battalion of the regiment were in Egypt fighting in the Battles of Kassasin and Tel-el Kebir . When war broke out in Sudan in 1884 the 1st Battalion was sent and fought in the Battle of El Teb . A future British Field Marshal, Herbert Plumer, 1st Viscount Plumer, was adjudant of the 1st Battalion at this time. During this battle a platoon of the battalion came to the rescue of Capt. Arthur Wilson who won the Victoria Cross during the action.

In late 1884 the 1st Battalion was shipped back to England where they were to remain on various garrison duties until 1899 when the Anglo-Boer War in South Africa started. The 1st Battalion was formed into the 11th Brigade and fought through the war. In 1902 the battalion was shipped to India and remained there until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914.

Along with actions in the Sudan they performed bravely in the Anglo Boer War :wink2:
