To the British fellow collectors here.
What is it with the umbrella?
Attached are three pictures from various Toy Soldiers (a new Beau Geste WWI set, a First Legion British Officer, mounted, from Waterloo and a K&C British Soldier from WWII, Market Garden).
Very different times but there is an umbrella in each set.
I'm just curious. Is that just made up by the manufacturers, because you guys usually have more then enough rain, or are there really officers known from the mentioned periods that did carry an umbrella?
