Any ideas for colours for his scarf ? Not much of a football fan, that’s why I have a season ticket for the Baggies, nice chicken Balti pies lol

 

[valiant]

Crewe Alexandra - red/white, Chester City - Blue/white, Macclesfield Town - Blue/white, Stockport County - Blue/white......

From a Macc lad. The 7th was my local battalion.
6th is Stockport, I still go to the drill hall.

[Helm]

Perhaps a relative?

 

[Scotty]

Great start, could he be a casualty replacement from London? Or a Londoner in Cheshire when war broke out?

Got the oils out and painted his coat and cap. After a bit of research, changed his scarf to this one , 1874nortwich football club, just base layers so still to be detailed with shadows, highlights and dirt;
