Hugh, as ever I'm playing catch-up and finally caught this post. Love the old Pathe' films to begin with but this was fascinating (to me) for two reasons. I never knew Cushing was an avid collector nor had I ever heard of H.G. wells 'Little Wars' book. I gotta get on the ball LOL

Hey there Ed...Little Wars has been reprinted a few times over the years so should be easy to track down on Amazon, and your fellow American; Paul Stadinger (Stads list) - was one of the dealers who got hold of some of the Cushing collection, but that was way back '95/96! I think I got some Merten or Preiser from it, off him, but the provenance was ummm 'hearsay'!
