  Its great to know family military history, my grand father didnt mention his war time RAF experience, it wasn't until he passed did i found out any thing. He may have been in Normandy at the same time as your father. As he was ground crew on the air strips they set up there.

  Thank you for sharing these 3 films. The Wessex Brigade did an amazing job that isn’t recognised that much. My late grandfather served in 43 division in the 7th Somerset Light Infantry. He took part in the Battle for Hill 112 and was captured at Vernon after his company was ordered to push on into the wooded hills above Vernon Le Seine. Thank you for taking the time to upload and share.

  I also knew someone - RAMC - who could never, for the rest of his life, put into words his experience of Bergen- Belsen. It's more correct to say that your Granddad was wounded in Operation GARDEN. 43rd Div. didn't fight in MARKET - that was the airborne troops. Well actually, only some of the airborne. US 101st DROPPED as part of MARKET but, the moment their boots TOUCHED the ground, they came under 30 Corps/2nd Army/21st AG as 'GARDEN.' Bizarrely, the FOURTH airborne division in the op (that's 52nd Lowland air portable) waiting for Urquhart's men of 1st Airborne Div.. to seize Deelen airfield (after their primary objective of the TWO Arnhem bridges) never arrived (leaving US and RAF airfield delivery troops at a loose end in Arnhem, to be killed or captured). People forget about 52 (L) air-portable Div saying that two US and only one British airborne divisions took part. 52(L) was actually a fully paid-up, under US command, member of 1st Allied Airborne Army. It didn't fight in MARKET but, its powerfully armed 52nd Reconnaissance Regiment DID fight in GARDEN when it passed, in battalion strength, to US command from 30 Corps, fighting with 101st Airborne on the notorious 'Hells Highway'. 43rd Recon was there too as part of GARDEN. Why the screed about MARKET-GARDEN? Because no other WW2 op ever had such a curious contrived 'hidden meaning' name - and no other haf such a convoluted command structure almost guaranteed to aggravate the severely strained US-British relations by that time. The next time there was a joint British-American op they just called it 'VARSITY'.

  I must admit Bruce and his team i am kind of in awe of what they have done and what they are doing, History is history and lessons learnt are why we want to preserve. Bruce doesn`t do this to glorify War, it is also a showcase of recent History that is so relevent today. i have not served in the Military but have family buried in the Cemetery in Konchanaburi Thailand i have walked up and down those resting places, Heart breaking to see, but bumping into Japanese there kind of brings it into perspective. I live in Norwich not Far from Bruce`s "Casa" as he calls it, i hope i have the honor and pleasure of seeing and meeting him and his awesome team, and the magnificent collection there in the future, i must have watched every episode at least 30 times, awesome.

•

  Hi Stuart , Welcome back to the wargaming hobby !!. Bolt Action figures are scaled at 28mm , so next to 1/72 and 1/76 vehicles, they will be a bit big. For 28mm, 1/56 scale vehicles are very popular, or you could go smaller with 15mm, 1/100 There is nothing wrong with you using the Bolt Action rules with your 1/72 , 1/76 figures, and Tanks, there are a few people out there that do. Its your hobby at the end of the day !!

  I was well into this in the 1970s, spurred on by Airfix releasing the Chieftain and Scorpion/Scimitar models, but that was about it at the time. I made some FV432's and a couple of variants using Minitanks M42 Duster chassis (the chassis and tracks scale out about right) and of course all the CVRT variants courtesy of Airfix and Slaters Plastikard. Landrovers were cheap plastic toys but perfectly to scale but other softskins had to be stand ins. The Warsaw pact got BMP1s based on Eastern Models PT76 chassis (under scale but the best I could find), the T55s (and some US M48s) were from AHM, clip together 'kits' with a friction drive motor and big wheels underneath (but they tidied up really well). Then a set of WP troops appeared (Esci I think) but no plastic (ie cheap) cold war brits (the Matchbox Falklands paratroopers came along just too late and I missed them as I was at sea by then). I gave a lot away to my godson but I still have a few of the models, the Frog rocket laucher with the 'working' hydralulic ram to elevate the launcher (paper wrapped around a pin and soaked in glue, remove the pin and put it mack when the glue dried), B10 recoless rifles and 812mm British mortars also made from paper wrapped around a pin (so they had an open muzzle) with sights from the head of a pin. Happy days.

  @@watchdogwargaming Back then it was a necessity, I am forever indebted to the Gods of kit bashing who wrote for Airfix Magazine, the likes of Gerald Scarborough, Peter Chamberlain and Terry Gander. I once tried a 'trainer' aircraft conversion, extending the fuselage with a balsa plug and plunge-forming an new canopy from one of the articles but my main interest was the soldier side of things and there were many inspiring articles in the magazine (I still use the Airfix guides to make some things). One chap did the whole of the Battle of Tewksbury using the Airfix Sheriff of Nottingham and Robin Hood sets, it's huge, now in a museum (but lacking a bit because they loaned it to another rather 'trendy' museum who chopped a bit off and threw it away to meet the feng shui or whatever of their 'space', hundreds of hours work, all based on historical data, very sad. Making a 'bofors quad' using the Airfix Quad with a gun based on the 6 pounder (with a muzzle extension using the hub cap from an 88mm gun kit) was about as far as I got, but I did make it swivel by gluing the gun to a drawing pin (Araldite, no superglue back then), making a hole in the chassis with a pin held in pliers and heated in a candle flame and trimming the spike on the pin down. That kind of thing, and cannon/catapults that actually launch projectiles are frowned upon these days for health and safety reasons (I still have a few scars myself) but if I get to know the family I sometimes add one or two in a top-up box if the kid has taken to it. Since retiring I have been making up sets of toy soldiers to give away to less well off folks and thus far the kids seem to play with them the same way we did. WW2 is easy, Cold War has come on a bit as has the modern stuff, Knights and Knaves are not too bad (bugger to paint though and battlements are a bit of a pain), but sci-fi is very poorly served. There is quite a lot of 'merchandising' and when the shiny newness wears off the prices drop but most things I have to make from scratch or kit-bash (there are quite a few sci-fi 'crawler' type machines out there with plastikard bodies on Armourfast T34 chassis). Sadly I have now run out of the 1:32 Halo figures I picked up in a discount shop a couple of years ago so it's back to converting 'army men' (the Airfix Paratroopers make good 'space marines' and the Dark and Light Alliance Stalkers sets make good space pirates in 1:72 for age 7 and older). A set costs me about £40 or $50 US and generally I make about 2-3 a year but I did 10 during lockdown, mostly for carers as they get crap pay. The 1:32 sets have about 30-40 figures, the 1:72 sets have 100+ plus figures plus half a dozen tanks and artillery. I always include a lot of scenery, bunkers with removable roofs, houses with 'playable interiors', hedges, walls, trees, hills, trenches, ruins etc, all the stuff I would have liked when I was ten, but that's mostly cardboard, glue and dried tea leaves. Hopefully I will kindle enough interest to keep things in production, the youngsters seem to enjoy them and I get to make all the things I have ever thought of without having to find storage room (and they are getting played with, which is very satisfying). Sorry for rambling on here.
