Very nice Martyn, the last is my favourite. I don't think I would like him washing that however

Very nicely done once again Martyn featuring your take on "The Washing of the Spears" and thanks for setting them up and sharing them with us.

Nicely done and featured Martyn behind to two stack biscuit box wall that they stood behind as they did during the defense of the Mission Station. It's so nice seeing Trophy fighting on the two fronts you've been providing us with.

Martyn,

I think Michael McMahon held the rank of 2nd Corporal in the AHC.

He was awarded the DCM, but was stripped of the medal after he deserted his unit.

According to the research undertaken by Julian Whybra and Norman Holmes based on the Chard and Bromhead Rolls Michael McMahon 3359 is listed as a private base on The Roll of those present at Rorke's Drift 22/23 January 1879 which appears on the Rorke's Drift VC website. But both Adrian Greaves and Ian Knight show him as a Second Corporal in both of their books on his rank. Ahhh another tale to ponder.

Hello Lt.

Perhaps, Michael McMahon was demoted from 2nd Corporal to Private after he deserted.

It is unlikely there were 2 persons with the same name serving with the Army Hospital Corps at Rorke's Drift at that time.

Best Wishes, Raymond.

I must admit to nearly missing these as I was a bit involved with collecting several pre ordered items.

They will have my full attention next time

The set of "Defence of Rorke's Drift" figures (first issue) was £650.

Cheers

Martyn,

Looking forward to seeing pictures of your Trophy finds.

[GICOP]

Thanks Brian

I found 28 sets + several single figures and diorama pieces

They are all great, big and small, one of the best finds has to be EQ14A
ROYAL GARRISON SEIGE GUN – INDIAN ARMY drawn by 2 elephants.

Pictures to follow though the week

Cheers

Thanks 999th for the photos and Maryn looks like your Trophy hunt was a major success and looking forward to seeing box sets making their debut. Seems like my three sort after figures are still evasive

No luck I'm afraid Joe.The Belgian Toy Soldier Museum had the set for £650 as already mentioned, bit pricey though.

Cheers
