Yep, it was the couple of Belgians seated in the front row I was hoping you'd spot.
Shame it's difficult to make out the badges, the chap far left, middle row with the white lanyard is perhaps RA.

An interesting article including photo's about the hospitals in this area.

Another very nice trio from the Jimbo/Nap combo.
Is the nurse a fresh sculpt, or a conversion?
Looking forward to seeing this lot come to life.

Cheers,
Andrew

Great idea and looking good so far. The nurse really makes the whole thing work.

I like the thread, it has history, information and beautiful busts.

I told you having a nurse would make this scene work. I am never going to let you forget that mate.

A very interesting subject and a pair of beautiful busts.I think this is going to end exceptionally well.

Hi Guys

Couple of updated pics on the first of the 3

Uniform all done
Cap done except strap ( Gloucester Regt )

Going to push the red highs on the tie a bit more

Eyes ( he will be looking to his right at the nurse ) and fleshwork to be done

He represents George Saysum from the Glosters who won the Military medal which the ribbon is being worn

The other soldier will be representing James Collins from the Seaforth's who won both the DCM and the MM with bars for both so stay tuned

Thanks for looking in

Wonderful composition, and the look of the pilot on the right (looking at the nurse) is a nice hint at what happened most of the time - the lads looking at those nice, caring , ......nurses.
