My Story…
As a sixties child with “old” parents who not only lived through the war but were active within it and grandparents who were active in the First World War.
At 5 years old I had my first “toy soldiers” in the form of Timpo plastic cowboys and Indians. I played with them constantly until aged 8 when my mum bought me my first Airfix plastic soldiers. British WW2 and Afika Korps from memory, at Binns (now House of Fraser) in Middlesbrough.
Soon after, aged 9, I hypnotised by the TV series – BATTLEGROUND 1978 – literally televised wargaming. I was from then on smitten.
In 1980 my mum, after being away with work a few days, brought me back a present. Panzer Leader boardgame, and a few weeks later I discovered Military Modelling magazine. With no end of wargames figures advertised as well as a notice that “Middlesbrough Wargames Club” had a new secretary; me aged 12, I wrote immediately to join.
The rest they say is history….
Well not exactly. I then spent a long time in the nursery and electronics industries as well a brief spell as an estate agent. So The Little Corporal was created.
We are not just another sales site. We have no ambitions of grandeur. Our aim is simple. To bring together everything that inspired me 40 years ago. Figures, books, history, but most of all., community – in one place.
