Thanks Kevin as always your comments mean alot to me. Michael I'm sure you'll agree it's a great little set to play with an photograph and Martyn this may have been a scene that took place at Gingindlovu.

NATAL LIGHT HORSE

First saw action in May 1879, commanded by Capt. W. Whalley ex. 17th Lancers
The core of the unit was drawn from the Frontier Light Horse and at one time comprised of 138 men, their largest action was at the Battle of Ulundi on July 4th 1879. As the original troopers were drawn from the FLH there uniform was heavily influenced by that of the FLH. Along with Martini-Henry and Snider carbines many men carried sabres and revolvers

Set# ZS22/V – NATAL LIGHT HORSE

Very nice indeed, the sets laid as they are and the angle of the picture provides a sense of movement to the warriors and the sailors that you can actually imagine the gatling gun in action bring the mass of warriors to a stop....

 

[mikemiller1955]
