Dan,

Just a point - if it's meant to be he Mount Tumbledown battle it'll be a Scots Guardsman not a Para.

Nice to see this terrific addition. Not nearly enough, both in kits or reference books on this battle and the war around it.

Sorry Dan, I must come across as a pernickety bast**d.

I understand that Lieutenant Kiszely (later a General) broke his bayonet blade in one encounter.
