Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Thank you for the reply. It isn't mine, it's just something that caught my eye on ebay... two of these were sold recently in the $100-150 range on ebay, there's another one on some site for $150.
The better condition one was quite obviously lacking in detail compared to the rather rough one below
Here's the better condition one from ebay... compare face of soldier with stahlhelm to the one above (looks like an obvious repro)
