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.

Vauban F&IW scenic views

HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all!

I've been busy over the Holidays, with family, work, and... YES, hobby stuff.  All the hobby stuff has been more work on the Vauban fortress as well as a good amount of SIEGE WORKS to go with it -- or more accurately, against it.  I'm preparing another post on the siege works, but in the meantime I hope you enjoy these 100 or so pics showcasing scenic views in and around the fortress:

    Great glamour shots! It's great to see the grand painting job hit the table in such a fabulous fashion.

      In fact, daveb my friend, it has been VERY ANNOYING INDEED!!!! Most of all being unable to reply to the kind and generous comments left here, unable to answer questions from visitors, and unable to DELETE those awful junk-bot spam comments, often left by escort services in India and Eastern Europe! I am now happily sweeping the place clean of them as fast as my fingers can hit "DELETE"!
