    "Out of Ammo, God Save The King"

    I've been reading the Arnhem 1944 book by Buckingham, and was struck by the last message from the Para's at the Bridge, which was only picked up by the German's simply: "out of ammo, God Save The King"

    Very dramatic.
    I do like the way you do noses, by not actually drawing them, if you get what I mean.

    Cheers Owen,

    The noses an old trick that I got from my mate Rembrandt, don't tell everyone, as the Queen once told me " Neva name drop It darn't look good innit"

    Nice one Soren - although watch those Gerry helmets. They look more like WW1 Stahlhelms than WW2 helmets, which we shallower.

    The Buckingham book isn't bad, is it? Thanks for that by the way, mate!
