The Last Stage Of Lieutenant Smyths Heroic Journey.

The Last Stage Of Lieutenant Smyths Heroic Journey. When only Lieutenant Smyth and Sepoy Lal Singh were left of the original eleven they reached a small stream. They were subjected to a heavy fire, and it was some time before they discovered a fordable spot. There they crossed, carrying a box of bombs between them and escaping disaster by some miracle. They reached he firing trench at last, but unfortunately Lal Singh was almost immediately killed. Lieutenant Smyth received the Victoria Cross for this heroic exploit and the ten brave Indians were rewarded with the Indian Distinguished Service Medal.

Battle of Hastings Chess Pieces. (B)

Battle of Hastings Chess Pieces. (B) These chess pieces represent the two opposing armies in the most famous battle fought on English soil. Harold, the English King leads his Saxon forces against the invading William, Duke of Normandy. The ensuing battle near Hastings on the south coast of England in 1066 altered the course of English history. The amazing detail created by our sculptors is richly displayed in this historic chess set. This superb set has been a favourite since its introduction in regular brown and ivory finish. After many requests our artists have demonstrated their skills by hand decorating this set so that it now seems to reveal more of the authentic detail in each piece. The set is based on the famous Battle of Hastings in which King Harold II of England opposed the invading Norman army led by William Duke of Normandy on October 14th 1066. After the hard fought battle of Stamford Bridge in which he defeated and killed Harold Hardrada King of Norway who had invaded Northumbria, Harold and his Saxon Army marched from York to the south coast of England. At the small village of Battle, just inland from Hastings, Harolds tired army met the invading forces of William Duke of Normandy. These chess pieces are authentic reproductions of the characters, clothing and equipment of the era.
