After "The Disaster at Dinmore" and "The Martyrdom at Willersley", the rumour is that Comrade Stalin is intent on providing more troops to the suddenly hard pressed Kington and Presteigne Soviets:
 |
| Soviet Infantry in greatcoats with Moisin-Nagant rifles and budenovka headgear. |
 |
| A nice military band to accompany the infantry. |
 |
| Rather more useful Horse Artillery - and motorcycle despatch rider. |
 |
| Searchlight truck, supply vehicles, and a unique looking Armoured Car. |
Staff Commander A.D. Mann, spokesman for Lord de Braose, Governor of Hereford and Lord Warden of the Marches, has had no difficulty in dismissing such rumours, identifying Stalin's proposed contribution as, at best, "mere paper re-inforcements"....
