The 1939 film “The Four Feathers” inspired a set of casts to be painted by me (provided by DORSET SOLDIERS) Edited June 2026

I did them, even completed later on with some details… and completely forgot to make an special Post for them! (some pics are there in another Post)

Memory says I did not… but maybe I posted some pics of them elsewhere in this blog/vlog whatever… in fact I have found them quick enough!… but they deserve a single one for them.

Curiously in the 1939 film (the best one IMHO) the unit that parades in the streets of London is not the Royal North Surrey (remember?… more troops for Kitchener! says the newspapers…) it looks like a Guards Unit… but I decided to do my display for the Royal North Surrey and that is final!

Sorry if you have already seen them in Facebook… I am sure I published them there… LOL

Finally into the cabinet (but it lacks the last version I will add below).
