John_drummer Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I never though i’d see NMA referenced in a model making forum. Nice to see family on here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamevender Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Trench depths varied all over the front and if it was a relatively new trench dug forward for a jumping off point, it might not be as deep Of course, it also wouldn't have duck boards and other niceties, so whatever. Also, the Somme did not start in rainy weather. Mud is what it is known for, but the initial assault was done in dry weather. The rain came later. Great job on an evocative little dio. If only those poor blighters had know what they were up against. 50,000 casualties in one day. I don't know if I could have stood it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see family on here Same to you John, we're not the only two either :-) I love that song and the sentiment behind it! I only came back to the hobby when I started building kits with my boys, got hooked again!! Ive always had bit of an inner conflict on being 100% behind the values of NMA and an interest in military stuff, but I was born into an RAF family so its always been there. I have massive respect for people who have served the country, it just the people making the decisions that sometimes need questioning but better not get into politics here lol!! Do you still go to gigs? Cheers Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonR Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Cheers for the kind words Simon & gamevendor. And you're right, horrendous slaughter - I guess one tiny bit of good came out of it in that at least the British Army tried to learn from it in WW2 and not make the same mistakes again.

John_drummer Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I do occasionally - last one I went to was York in November 2015 - but i caught the bug early, Nov ‘82 at Bradford uni. Even had the privilege of opening for them once, again at Bradford, think it was ‘88. Got to know Robert & Stuart and some of the crew quite well as we used to go to the same pubs & nightclubs when they weren’t touring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit later, first gig was Exeter in '85 most recent Norwich last year. I saw them in Bradford Uni in 88 - what band did you drum for?

John_drummer Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I played for Seven Dead Americans, we were on first, then I think Psychosurgeons. Someone spilt a beer on the lighting desk during our set so we had to play in the dark! Quickly fixed but ever so slightly disorientating ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
