Cavalry

Tonight I found some super images of cavalry from pre ww1 until ww2. I hope you enjoy them...

Christmas Greetings

A Merry Christmas to all from Army Red/White. I have really enjoyed doing this blog- especially finding the images. I hope you have a great time wherever you are and I look forward to taking the blog into 2010 with figures,images and much more...

new images

Some new images for you to enjoy . I hope to add more now I am on my hols. Must get down to painting Army Red/White too. The aim is to get it into action in 2010- even in the form of a small border patrol/defence army...

I'm back

A happy St Nicholas day to you all. The kitchen is 99% finished and my thoughts can turn to this blog once more , amongst other hobby thoughts . I post a few images to get us up and running once more. I particularly liked "Haul the field gun" which looks typical of the terrain probs Army Red/white might face...
More updates asap

Bicycle ideas...

Two interesting images showing bicycles. The first shows a bicycle being used to tow a heavy machine gun in WW1 and the second shows bicycle transport for the wounded. It would be great to see models of these in FLW...

Re 1905

I found this map pertaining to 1905 which I believe shows plans for an invasion.It also shows the troop dispositions from 1905 also. If you click on the map it will enlarge to a decent size for further investigation...

Norway

I thought I would see what I could find and was pleased with these photos . I am pleased to see cycle troops (my favourites...) as well as chaps in some fantastic spiked helmets.

The 1893 Cadets look very acw in their uniform and equipment- figure conversion possabilities are indeed an option here..The group in the picture with the curtains are from a slightly later period.

Some photos of Norwegian uniforms from the latter part of the 19th century and early 20th century.

Something different part 2

And now for something completely different-Greeks. Enjoy...

Something different...

For a change I am posting some pictures of 1905 Norwegians- a year that could have seen a new Northern War but matters were solved with diplomacy.

Further mountain troops...

I am posting some further pictures of mountain troops. Note the sepia postcard with some interesting closeup photos of equipment and useage of a machine gun in rough terrain...

Off duty...

Some informal pictures of army Red/White at work ,rest and play...

Sentry box

Found this photo of a Swiss sentry box . I think it is a border post . Note fascinating 18th century painting on the side of it. This is just crying out to be turned into a model....

Later Swiss circa 1939...

Some piccies of 1939 Swiss and some reenactors portraying the same period. Enjoy!
