BRAVO MAX!
It’s always a special feeling when your child walks the same path as you. The result doesn’t matter; what counts is the effort and the willingness to spend an afternoon with his dad playing with little soldiers. Sometimes dreams really do come true. Mine – a lifelong one – came true today.
Thank you, Maximilian!
This is the first paper soldier he’s cut out with real skill. He chose a Swedish Yellow Brigade arquebusier from the Battle of Lützen. We had fun setting it up and taking photographs. A rainy, cold day outside—what could be better? Nothing!
(Not just any name: he was named after an ancestor who, interestingly, was once against these Swedes of the Yellow Brigade.)
