Tommy's War Lewis gunner

[Windy]

Hi - just seen this - great job - I did the same figure as a tribute to my grandfather who was a member of the Machine Gun Corps in the Battle of St Quentin (21/03/1918) where he was wounded losing his leg and an eye - despite being taken prisoner he survived until the late 1970's. I have his paybook and some letters written while in POW camp. I hope you don't mind me cross-posting but here's my attempt:

Thanks Mark. That's a damn good effort on yours too. Oddly enough there's a tenuous connection with my grandfather as well. He was Indian Army and was his battalion's machine gun officer, fighting the Turks in Mesopotamia. I have his medals and some photographs. I don't think anyone makes a figure of a Sepoy with a Lewis though!

Cheers,

Hi Windy

I'm waiting for Tommy's War to bring out the Vickers Two Man Team - the guy at the SMW show in November mentioned some time this year.
