Stirling 2
Saw this interesting object in the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders Regimental Museum-
There is nothing new under the sun as they say. I wonder if this was an instruction in tactics or simply in how various formations should be formed eg moving from column of March into a line etc.
A beautiful set of blocks Alan! I have some seen some other excellent sets of antique blocks that really gave children a great variety of toys! One set had soldiers on one side, a train on another, and a circus on another side!
That’s very interesting. Are they in two ranks?
ReplyDeleteSingle rank looking closely at the second picture.
