    8. Not the best images granted. But a couple of C111R version miniatures are currently listed on a popular auction site.
    9. There’s photos of miniature versions been posted on Worcestershire today, if that’s of any use?
    10. Appears that there is an official date for the military, whereby there will be a change of effigy from E11R to C111R. Although why the 1st October and not the 8th September, is curious…
