This is from 'Swift and Bold' - The History of the KRRC in the Second World War. Thought Soren would like this - reminded me of his work.
Nice sketch. The proportion is spot on. What's Swift and bold? Is it a website where more of these drawings can be seen?
I see he has a Lee Enfield No 4. I haven't seen any of those in use in the Desert war, usually it's the Mk III. Anyone got a pic of one in use in the Desert ?

Hi Paul, Just shows you can't keep us old b*****s down.I have had an interest in WW2 since 1939 when I was a youngster.My elder brother was a member of the 8th Army,1st Btn.KRRC ,from October 1940 until October 1944 when,as a Sgt he was captured at the crossing of the Ronco River at Forlimpopo.The description of that action in Swift & Bold matches exactly his account of the event.
