Before doctoring for war, Cetshwayo’s younger brother, Prince Dabulamanzi kaMapande, urges on two opponents in the Harvest games. The older regiments and younger, unmarried regiments had fierce rivalries, and jumped at any chance to display their prowess. The royal regimental guards patrol the entrance to the King's homestead.

Thanks, Scott!
Indeed JG usually figures in somewhere with my displays. They just do the job so well. I'll post the redoubt soon, even though I think it looks more like a Viet Nam era sandbag base!

Somebody has a bunch of Trophy Indian Mutiny set up one-bay.

My question is on this one. How can it be Indian Mutiny when the Gatling had not come out in America 'til 64-65? Riddle me this, riddle me that.

The charger horses transported from England to fight in the Zulu campaign of 1879 had a problem. They couldn't digest the local grasses effeiciently and some died after arrival in Natal, and not because of the rough one month voyage by sea either. The local ponies had been raised on the indigenous fare, and were much stronger in the environment. All this meant that the European horses needed to be fed hay and forage brought over with them.
These horse handler are prepare to give this pair of chargers of the 17th Lancers Regiment the daily feed of British hay.

PS-Damian-Is it true? How's the salad down there?

 

[damian]

The salads down here are quite good. we have a lot of hardy indigenous grasses here. You may have heard of some Durban Poisin and Swazi Gold. Maybe it was a bit strong for foreign horses. There was a guy from my class who left school and moved to California where he set up an import business selling these indigenous grasses in the Golden State. Seems he contravened a few minor regulations as there was a government agency the DEA or FBI I don't know which that took exception to this. Anyway the state of California being what it is kindly sent him to a university I think it was called the University of San Quentin where he did a eight year masters degree.
At the 20 year reunion everybody wanted to know what everyone else did after school., You know the usuual I went to the army, I became a policeman I did a Masters in Law etc . Only this dude could say I spent 8 years in San Quentin.

1879

The first twofigures are from an earlier edition of "The Storehouse at The Drift" as well as the Rev. The Rev dose appears in the later sets but the first two do not. The figure in the middel appears in Hokkie Leads them out with his pistol not lowered. I know Martyn will back be up on the above, Right Martyn?. It's Troop Henry Lugg whose hanging in with the redcoats...The Lt.

Absolutely correct Lt.
The figures are from the early 1991 Storehouse Set. They are, in order,
1 Cpl ANDERSON
2 Acting Assistant Commissariat DALTON
3 Rev. SMITH
