About Me
- Hugh Walter
- No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
- I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

Y is for Young Guard - Historex No's 638 / 703
Except even I know they were no younger or
older than the Old Guard or the Dutch Guard, recruiting from the same pool to
replace the battle losses or bodies left frozen on the steppes of Russia. But
only the pioneer gets 'the' hat!
The next post in this series (few days time) won't have a
colour plate as it deals with the various vehicular elements of the artillery
train, and you're probably supposed to know what colour they are from your Blandford or Almark guides!
