Toy Soldier Collector Sketches from Afghanistan

Sketches from Afghanistan


Colin Luxford reminisces about the Afghan wars of the late 1800’s with the help of some old copies of the Illustrated London News and a few toy soldiers

During the 1930s, my father unfortunately arrived too late to prevent a pile of old Illustrated London News from being thrown onto a bonfire, apart from two bound editions that covered the whole of the year 1879. He didn't know which issues were destroyed but at least 1879 was a pretty good year to save as it covered both the Zulu War and 2nd Afghan War.
