A flotilla of naval and merchant vessels docked at Montreal today. Several British regiments of foot and horse were seen to disembark to a cheering crowd of onlookers. They comprised Regular and Volunteer cavalry, the Royal Highland Regiment, and a detachment of the King's Royal Rifle Corps. We are further informed reinforcements have also arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia. Truly, these are (W.) Britains from Britain.
(I purchased some W.Britains boxed sets during 2019, while the Royal Highland Regiment were kindly sent to me by Paul Watson and it was a pleasure to restore them for service. Steel nails and milliput was used to repair the bagpipes.)

Very nice work indeed!
ReplyDeleteGood to know that my hometown and the city I spent most of my life in have both received support!
It was Paul Watson that furnished the metal highlanders, which started my drift into restoring metal figures in addition to converting plastic. I don't see Montreal falling now, and they may have occupied Ottawa but nearby Hull is still free.
