JosephLalor Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 They seem to have a different 'feel' from newspaper cartoons. Were they in forces publications? Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg B Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 They were originally published in a book called 'Up the Falklands' IIRC. The cartoonists were all Royal Marines who were part of their model making and cartography section believe it or not! How do I know this, well one of them 'Spider' Webb was a friend of my old mans and I can remember meeting him a couple of times before the conflict as a nipper. The sales of the books (there was a sequel) went to the charity fund for the conflict. As for me, I was most dischuffed, for my 10th birthday I was supposed to spend a week at RM Poole with my old man, bloody Argentinians put paid to that one! Gits! :shithappens: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, you're right sir, it was indeed Charlie Manning. I've been in exile out West too long! Edited June 29, 2008 by MikeC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
