Title: Indian 17th Cavalry
Post by: joekano on January 02, 2019, 01:44:06 AM: Working my way through the backlog of old lead and finally managed to finish this unit after 3 years :o

The 17th Cavalry saw action in German East Africa during WWI and later fought in the Third Anglo-Afghan War.

Further info and links to multiple pennon JPGs for figures can be found on the blog:

I'd also like to acknowledge LAF member Mike Blake who researched the unit for me when I first started this project. Your help is much appreciated!

Thanks!

Nevertheless: the men looking great.
