Not a photo depicting action from this weeks returns but a favourite nevertheless. |
The week two returns were a joy to put together. As mentioned in the previous posts, the fact that the players who were in the campaign took to the colour and atmosphere of a Victorian Colonial campaign with gusto absolutely made it a breeze.
The first page of Bullers returns from the Umpire, namely me! |
Page two...always nice to have a bit of poetic license. |
General Stewart appears to have a few things on his mind... |
...as well as some challenges. |
Scope for a bit of colour is the aim on these returns. |
Despite the occasional grammatical error and question marks being omitted I like to think it still reads well all these years later. |
Not all correspondence is one way. Major General Davis sends off a missive to his Commander in Chief to make sure he knows whats' going on... |
...and to ensure that vital supplies are not lost ion transit. |
Gin may not be the first thing on his mind though. |
Nothing like the battle being taken up to the boys in khaki. |
Short and to the point methinks! |
Stirring stuff! Nothing like a adding a touch of colour to a campaign diary, especially a fetching shade of pink gin. ;)

I remembered at the time Graham how funny I found the dispatch I literally had tears in my eyes. Wonderful, wonderful memories of some great wargaming moments.
