I want to take a few moments to bring to light for those of you who are not familiar with Trophy of Wales Ltd. was own before retiring by Len Taylor the grandson of Private Frederick Taylor 25B/973 of B Company who took part in the fighting at Rorke's Drift. His Company is known throught the world for creating Throphy Miniature Wales LTD. and providing and outstanding line of Tradional Toy Soldiers of the Zulu War along with other periods of history. In 1996 Len provided The Abandon Hospital as a Mini Dio and recently acquiring it I thought I'd put together a Diorama of it featuring The Hospital with only figures from Trophy Miniatures......The Lt.
