Hope I have plenty of money for the show. Love the Hospital Lt.
Historically speaking, I believe the brown helmets are correct. They were issued white but the troops in the field used tea, among other things, to make them brown so that they would be less conspicuous. The 1964 movie Zulu had the 24th Foot wearing white helmets and toy soldier producers went along. However, Trophy made identical sets with one or the other and asked the buyer to specify which they wanted. Imperial offered only white helmets while Frontline offered only brown even on their original glossy Zulu War line.
Here is my tribute to WWI
Terrific homage and terrific figures. Great job Damian.
That looks sore
