Hi All,
I thought I would post these as it is the WW1 centenary, I took these in the Hereford museum, only to be told by the wife - no photography allowed.

Well chimps can always plead ignorance and could my snaps qualify as photography I think not, you've all seen my work first hand.:whistle:

I thought these might inspire some of you WW1 fans/modellers, as Hatton was a truely accomplished artist, sadly killed at the age of 28. Also some WW1 recruiting posters.
cheers
Richie
