The Thin Red Line
When I visited Cessna152towser (Alex) in Scotland in January, one of the places we visited was Stirling Castle. The Regimental Museum of the Argyll and Sutherland Regiments is located there.
I bought a print of a portion of a larger painting entitled "The Thin Red Line" by Robert Gibb.
It depicts the 93rd Highland Regiment repulsing the charge of the Russian Cavalry at an incident in the Crimean War. The title has come to represent incredible bravery and dicipline in the face of a superior enemy.
When I returned to Germany, I went to the Craft Shop on Base and framed the print. I had done some framing before, but the instructor gave me a good refresher and some new tips, for which I am greatful.
The result is below. Size of the overall frame and print is 55/22 by 86/34
cm/inches.

Regards,
Tom
