Battles often rage in the home of Harry Boraston. He has already enacted the skirmish at Edge Hill and his latest venture is Waterloo. For Mr. Baraston, of Mason Avenue, Lillington, has been making model soldiers for several years. He is a military history enthusiast and a former soldier in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. He has just completed the painstaking task of making and painting hundreds of scale model soldiers depicting the Battle of Waterloo. " It is a facinating battle, " said Mr. Baraston. " I have a great admiration for Napolean and I think he was unlucky to lose." Although his children, 11-year-old Mark and Susan (seven), take part in Harrys war Games it is more than kids play to him. " Many people with an interest in military history re-enact battles of this sort. It is getting to be a popular hobby throughout the country.

Battles often rage in the home of Harry Boraston. He has already enacted the skirmish at Edge Hill and his latest venture is Waterloo. For Mr. Baraston, of Mason Avenue, Lillington, has been making model soldiers for several years. He is a military history enthusiast and a former soldier in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. He has just completed the painstaking task of making and painting hundreds of scale model soldiers depicting the Battle of Waterloo. "It is a fascinating battle" said Mr. Baraston. "I have great admiration for Napoleon, and I think he was unlucky to lose". Although his children, 11-year-old Mark and Susan (seven), take part in Harry's war games, it is more than kids play to him. Many people with an interest in military history re-enact battles of this sort. It is getting to be a popular hobby throughout the country. This print captures Mr. Baraston's passion for historical accuracy as he meticulously crafts each miniature soldier by hand before bringing them to life with vibrant colors on their uniforms. Through these intricate models, one can almost hear the thunderous roar of cannons and feel the tension on that fateful day at Waterloo when two mighty forces clashed for supremacy. As we gaze upon this snapshot from 1978, let us appreciate not only Mr. Baraston's dedication but also how hobbies like these connect us with our past while igniting our imagination.
