Master Martyn,
Have you thought about a display of the various units represented in this pose? You must have at least 5! That would be very cool...Union Jacks as far as the eye can see

Nice find on the Sudan Gun Battery, it is a very nice looking set. It will look great in your dioramas.

Martyn,
Most splendid having them all lined up...I forgot that some poses were opposite, with the flag in the other hand. Thanks for taking the time out from the pool to show them
Now the Pipers from the Kaffrarian Rifles is a real treat..how many were made,do you think?

Thanks Mike, they are a nice set, unfortunately I don't know how many Pipers were made.

The Kaffrarian Rifles is quite an interesting unit, as I'm sure you know, having been raised to fight in the 9th Fontier War (also known as The Xhosa Wars, Kaffir Wars or Cape Frontier Wars) and then disbanded in 1879 just when the AZW kicked off. Do you know if the unit participated in the AZW?

Cheers

Martyn,
To my knowledge, they disbanded in 1879 in Kaffraria, while the Kaffrarian Riflemen, or Vanguard, was formed by Schermbrucker in the Eastern Cape at the onset of hostilities and sent to Luneberg by Chelmsford, and served at Hlobane.
By the way, another beautiful Gatling Gun to the collection!
