Being a mostly visual diary of the creation of high quality, historically accurate 25mm/28mm scale terrain
for a refight of the battle waged by the British and Afghans on July 27th, 1880,
in time for its recent 130th anniversary on Tuesday, July 27th, 2010.
Above is a pic of Lt. Colonel James Galbraith, Regimental Colour in hand, alongside Bobbie the regimental dog and some of the other "Last Eleven" survivors of the 66th (Berkshire) Regiment, making their last stand in one of the walled gardens just South of Khig village, a few miles West of the Afghan town of Maiwand.

9: GHAZIS CHARGE REAR-GUARD CAVALRY JUST NORTH OF KHIG...
(PLEASE NOTE: as not enough Indian Cavalry was available, these 9th Lancers and the 10th Hussars were pressed into service to supplement the one accurate unit of sword-armed sowars.)
