SPECIAL POSTS

Over the years, there have been some posts that warrant their own pages or links to other pages with more information.

Here is a consolidated collection of those posts:

• The Original “About this blog” – now out-of-date, you can still read the original version, and find the updated one here.
• About the Malalai figure – the Afghan heroine of Maiwand!
• About the Bobbie figure – the pet of Sgt. P. Kelly of the 66th (Berkshire) Regt.
• Igor the Mini Artist – painter of most of these figures
• Newspaper Illustrations of the 2nd Afghan War
• Figures

And lastly… Possibly the MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE SITE is Ian Heath‘s treatise on the 19th century Afghan regular army, which you can find here. When originally posted, it was the only place on the web with both the article and the accompanying artwork!
