Shingle Street Gentleman's Shooting Club

Finally got around to finishing these off (less a bit of work on the bases...) The Gentleman's Shooting Club of Shingle Street

Led by another veteran of the Great War, Captain W.L Simpson (MC) of (retd) , the Club is all set for a bit of 'Boche Bashing'. Pip! Pip!

Simpson was with the 2nd Battalion of the Suffolk's as part of the BEF seeing action near Mons and Le Cateau. Simpson remained with the Battalion throughout the war and was wounded in the second battle of Arras on the Wancourt-Tilly road in 1918.
