Two more battalions finished up over the last week...



2nd (Easter Ontario) Battalion



Detail of the Second Battalion's formation patches - red patch of the first division surmounted by a green semicircle (green for the senior brigade within the division and the semicircle denotes the second battalion within the brigade)



3rd (Toronto) Battalion



Detail of the Third Battalion's formation patches - red patch of the first division surmounted by a green triangle.

Hopefully I should have the Fourth Battalion finished shortly to - which completes the brigade, and the Division (as I previously painted the 2nd and 3rd Brigades!)

Finishing off the 1st Brigade - and the entire 1st Division - I completed the 4th (Central Ontario) Battalion this week



4th (Central Ontario) Battalion



Detail of their formation patch.

On to the 2nd Division! (I actually already have the 3rd Division completed and most of the 4th...)

Thanks Guys!

Here is another battalion: 18th (Western Ontario) Battalion - part of the 4th Brigade, 2nd Canadian Division, CEF



18th (Western Ontario) Battalion



The formation patch for the 18th Battalion was a green square surmounting a red patch – the blue patch was for the 2nd Division, the circle indicated the senior battalion within the brigade and the green was the senior brigade within the division.

Finished up the last of the Vickers MG teams I have (for now)...



One last Wargames Foundry one for the 1st Division, and three for the 2nd Division (figures from Woodbine Designs and 1st Corps)

I also did some comparison shots of all the different manufacturers represented on my blog:

Perhaps I'll post a few of them here in a separate post.
