Thanks Dave !
Theres always a contadiction and i like gung ho figures too !
i collect all sorts of WW1 and WW2 militaria , as well as crimean .
If i was rich , id collect armour !
Military Art as such is no longer a mainstream genre as it was in the 19th Century . attitudes can be quite hostile even . If i was to completely glorify the soldier , then id be called a Fascist !
Maybe i .......

Rob,thanks for my great great father ,a French Poilu,dead in 1918,as I wrote you.I know the patriotic poster"on les aura",your sculpture is so poignant.So many sacrifices for the glory of La mere Patrie...
Let me advice you the fantastic work of a French cartoons drawner,Jacques Tardi.His collection"C'etait la guerre des tranchées"(this was trench's war)is the ultimate work on this topic,IMO.
