Hi Lt.,

Another very nice shot.

The pair of 24th with the ammo box is one of my favourites from LL.

Thanks for Sharing,

Best, Raymond.

I see the well rested troops are getting the ammo to the men on the lines. I hope they make it in time.

Lt. Bromhead deals with a Zulu who had made over the wall.

Think Brian will give us a hint or two with his next photo or two my Aide de Camp. Nice addition to your Land of the Zulus Brian and my the way the ammo did get to the rankers on the line...The Lt.

Lt.,

Glad the ammo go through to the skirmish line.

Brian,

Nice shot of Bromhead on the hospital roof.

He sure did earn his VC.

Cheers, Raymond.

Notice the cutlass bayonet on the Martini-Henry rifle on this dead rating from the RN's Naval Brigade. The cutlass bayonet was special to the RN in that it was both a reliable cutlass sword, as well as a detachable bayonet. Thanks Mike for including this detail!

Another little gem added to your collection I wasn't aware of my Aide de Camp. Thought I'd add the following two photos Mike which will shed some additonal light on the models of the Martini-Henry along their bayonets for those who are not aware of them of which one depicts the life size sword bayonet which Mike Norris has feature attached to the Martini-Henry in you your photo.

My der Lordship. If you please, allow me to show the naval version of the Cutlass bayonet 1871 pattern.

Goofed I note the difference and stand corrected I feature the sword bayonet vs a true cutlass and should have caught the error sure nice having an Aide de Camp that keeps me on my toes

Mike,

Thanks for posting the image of this very interesting LL figure.

...a cutlass sword that can double up as a detachable bayonet on a Martini-Henri rifle...

Is this a customised figure/weapon by LL?

Mike,

Your excellent photograph is good for me.

So, I shall not bother to look at the LL catalog.

The photographs therein tend to strain by presbyopic eyes.

Thanks, Raymond.

Raymond,
Not to belabor your eyesight, but if you hit the zoom button under Mike N's pictures, they should enlarge enough to see well.

It is available from LL, you can also order extra rifles. I would like some wounded and shot sailors. I will suggest that to Mike.
