H.M.
24th Regiment of Foot Officer
With this figure we have tried to capture the spirit of
the veteran Victorian British Officer. He has seen it all,
Cawnpore `58, Peking `60 Sharpsburg `62 ("Detached
foreign service, half pay don't ya' know."), Magdala
`68, Afghanistan `73. It all ends today. Final posting:
Natal, Southern Africa 1879. He wears the dark blue patrol
jacket laced black. Foreign service cap with regimental
number. He screams encouragement to his troops while ramming
charges into his American made Colt New Navy Revolver.
