Hi guys,

I picked this set of miniatures up recently and I was wondering what its value is? Unfortunately, the guy I bought them off had no information as to their original owner.

Cheers,

Tom

I'll pay you whatever you paid for it and shipping as well to send it over my way

Seriously though, excellent set of miniatures...Not sure of the value, but they're in great shape for their age. Display them well.

A fantastic group to my favorite regiment, so good with all the pictures as well. I have a picture of him in a book on the RWF. He was a CSM with the 1st battalion at the battle of Festubert and was awarded his VC for an action in which he and 8 men seized and held 500m's of enemy trench and took over 100 prisoners. In that days actions the RWF started the day with 25 officers and 806 other ranks and ending it with 6 officers and 247 men. It was the 2nd of 8 VC's won by the RWF during WWI.

By strange quirk of fate, my next door neighbour was the last Colonel of the Regiment before they were amalgamated in 2006.
