Now all roads lead to France and heavy is the tread
Of the living; but the dead returning lightly dance.

  1. Is that a game of checkers in the Waterloo pack?

  2. Looks rather more like a 1915 kit than a 1916?

  3. Is that a mace (bludgeon) in the Somme kit on the left? Seems like that wouldn't be very handy. And is that a pith helmet or a steel one with some sort of fabric cover?
