Hi, For British Rifle Grenades, I read somewhere that the user/firer was assisted with a loader or at least someone to carry additional grenades for firing as some versions were fitted with spigots. Can anyone tell me if this is correct or were rifle grenadiers self contained chaps. I am aware that ri...

Hi! I recently buy the 6in howitzer from Resicast (a great kit one more time!) and as I was looking for pics to choose a finish and display, I remember the one on Landship showing a camouflaged howitzer with an officier standing in front of it. Camouflage sounds french, soldiers wear adrian helmets, bu...
