Martyn - a serious request ( well makes a change!)

I notice quite a few of these absolutely fab illustrations concern Egypt campaigns. Would there be an illustration in amongst them by any chance, of a Mounted Egyptian Cavalry band?

If there is - any chance of a peek, perchance??

As you may remember - I'm going to have a go at one later this Autumn - so the more pics I can get - the better.

Just a thought. Thanks for all of these, by the way, my current favourite is the 9 pounders of the RHA - with the guy in the foreground with what looks like a first-aid chest- or surgeon's box open. Superb! jb

I'll have a good look through jb, leave it with me. I'll also check my bound copy of "The Pictorial World"
