The scene, Peitermaritzburg. Hoping to inspire a company of the Natal Native Contingent, Lt. Vereker takes up a shield and leads them forth on parade. The 'powers that be' are not impressed. "Good God, Durnford!" says my Lord Chelmsford. "That officer of yours has gone positively native! Where the Devil does he think he is? Ireland?"
Must be quite the "eye twister" going from 2mm to 28mm! ;-)
ReplyDeleteRegardless how armed, the officer is doing what a good Victorian leader should be doing...leading from the front!
Look forward to seeing these. Nice job.
