West Cumberland Naval Horse Artillery ? : VBCW

 Now that sounds very grand and unlikely .......... but some of the local fishermen and merchant sailors from the west coast have formed themselves into auxiliary gunnery units. Having found an old WW1 13pdr these guys have hitched the horses used to pull their fishing boats up the beach and headed inland to support the Albertine cause.


The gun and limber are Great War miniatures the figures are Northstar pulp.
