Tommy or Martyn...you know anywhere I can find a flag such as the one pictured in the previous post...mine is missing. I have a figure with a hole in his left hand...pictured far left in my photo with pistol in hand...I assume it was for the flag?

Pardon me for butting in but this may be of help Markey

You wern't butting in...I just placed myself within there discussion anyhow as I saw something relevant to my set. So looking at my set what flag would be proper?

Thanks for the excellent assistance. I knew I could count on you but don't tarry.

We'll move it along double time, decided to leave the band back at base, didn't want to advise the enemy of our arrival, thought they should get a surprise

Thanks Martyn. Good thought about the band! I didn't notice any of Len's mandatory pack mules. We could certainly use food, water, ammunition, some bisquits, and a spot of tea if you could manage.

Great sets of Post Office Rifles. I knew there was a DE3V but didn't realize there was a prone firing set also. My catalogue didn't list that one. Thanks Martyn for the additional troops but who is delivering the Royal Mail?

Thanks Tommy

The Prone firing set is #DE9V

Here comes the rest of the Column

I know that the Royal Mail used to use what they termed "Casuals" (temporary staff) in the run up to the heavy Christmas rush, could be they have taken on a few of them

Cheers
