During the slight hiatus in the Herefordshire VBCW [note 1], the Bishop of Ludlow has been riffling through his collection of cigarette cards - publishing this collection of "Arms of the Public Schools". Not the most strenuous activity, admittedly, but its preferable to the Bishop delivering yet another lengthy sermon. And with a bit of photoshopping, the cigarette cards could make very useful VBCW flags....

| When's the next VBCW battle? Old Etonians happily race towards the Cadet Force's armoury.... |
[Note 1]: By this Autumn, it will be (unbelievably) two years since the last Hereford VBCW Big Game - see the (October 2019) "Battle of Mortimer's Cross" HERE. Such has been one (extremely minor) result of the Covid pandemic and UK Government lockdowns. Happily, the 1/55 Herefordshire VBCW universe operates on a completely different (and often indefinable) timescale, and thus the Bishop, his allies and enemies, may only have experienced a delay of two weeks or so since the last engagement. 1/55th scale Herefordshire, of course, has never experienced a pandemic (unless you count the 1919 'Spanish Flu' pandemic, where HMG's advice to the population seems to have been to "Keep Calm and Carry On", no doubt with the stiffest of upper lips). As "the past is a foreign country", particularly where 'the past' is completely invented, we hope to return to it by way of an October 2021 Big Game....
