hello chaps,
you all seem to be posting your ideas, so heres what im doing.
im going to be making a small dio of an actual event,
it will depict lance-sergeant john baskeyfield, one of the victoria cross winners of the campaign.
he operated a six-pounder AT gun single handedly at Oosterbeek, knocking out two tigers and an spg, before being killed.
the citation dwelt on his coolness and daring in allowing each tank to come well within 100 yards before opening fire.
look at this for more info
