Christmas and Toy Soldiers

For some of us the two are linked together.

Boston Light Guard 
(as might  have been imagined by Britain's  knowing only that before the Civil War, some US Volunteers wore bearskins in full dress.)
Happy childhood memories!

A Merry Yuletide Season to all.

  1. Merry Christmas to you. By the way I love the BLG figure. Hopefully you will form some more units of pre-ACW militia with bearskins. That was a goal of mine.

    1. Thanks, its been on my list for about 18 years! But I think I'm going to switch to a marching figure.
