[Nap]

Hi Guys

Thought I would post this ...its after an idea by me with the hands of El Jimbo doing the rework for me ...depicting the "uniform" worn by patients in Military hospitals in WW1 ( this was still seen at times after WW2 )

The lad has done well ..

This will be on the V bench soon should look good with the blue jacket , red tie and issue headwear

Great idea and looking forward to seeing this develop.

These are coming along great and a excellent choice of subject.

Funnily enough I've just come back in from taking the dog for a walk round Bedale Hall park. During the Great War Bedale Hall was a Red Cross Hospital. I've attached a photo, can you identify the nationality of the soldiers?

 

[Nap]

Thanks guys

Looking forward myself to getting going on these .

Roger ...looking at the picture ..great find ...possibly Belgium or French and maybe Canadian ( can't see badges enough ) ....bet you know the answer !...lol
