I have been collecting toy soldiers for years and have examples of most makers. At the moment I concentrate on Suffragettes and participants in the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland.

A few friends in Australia told me about this site so I thought I'd give it a dig.

Also have quite a decent collection of the Alamo. I've seen a lot of quotes on the site ... So here are two I can think of

Emily Pankhurst said 'better to die standing than to live on your knees"

James Connelly said "we defy you do your worst"

All the best

Prost!
