🎼🎢"Sing tow-row-a-row, etc

For the British Grenadiers!" Or in this instance the third and last of the units for my Guards Brigade, the 3rd Battalion, the Grenadier Guards. These are Great War Miniatures of course with flags from North Star and bases from Warbases as ever ~

I added two figures from the British casualty pack to give the unit a little more character. As the casualty figures are Line Infantry and not Guardsmen I have painted the facings yellow to emphasise that perhaps they had fallen in an earlier attack ~
I seem to have been painting these figures for eons, mainly because they were interspersed with the refurbishment and rebasing of the Foundry figures. I feel relieved I have to say rather than pleased that they are finished now!
I have Lord Lucan and an ADC well on the way to being finished as well, though I've not rebased any of the Foundry cavalry as of yet. The Third Battalion of the Roosian infantry regiment are underway too, with four figures finished to date, though the rest will take me a while to work through!

  5. Fine chaps once again David. At primary school we used to sing this song and other like it, so a bit of a trip down memory lane for me! Doubt they sing it now though.

    1. No doubt some woke member of the sisterhood will have seen to that.
