    I'm not to sure what a 'spandau' looks like so I've stuck a mg42 in this piece rather than the one george mentions:

    <title>Queens Own Cameron Highlanders

    I've tried to capture the moment when he has dealt with the machine gunners and then sees the Tiger Tank

    Another nice one Soren.
    Good guess on 'Spandau', MG 42 correct! (or 34).
    Sales opportunity using members websites? :)

    Be better off in a steel helmet with a camo net on.
    like these
    British Army in Normandy - Normandy Unit Profiles

    51 Highland will be pleased you've drawn his Dad.



    I thought about the helmet as I was drawing it, but the soft hat sat rather well on his head so I left it.

    Don't forget the face wound.
    a spent round ricocheted and lodge in my face where the two jaw bones hinge.

    Don't forget he was only a Private when this happened.
    Leave off the Sgt's stripes.
