Farewell Aly Morrison

 Like many in the wargaming world, I have learnt today with sadness of the passing of Aly Morrison. 

My contact with Aly was only as a fellow blogger from the opposite side of the world. I regret we never had a chance to meet - something I was expecting to have achieved in the near future now that I have finished work.

If you look back over several older posts on this and my Balaclava Blog (not that I expect anyone would) you will see several exchanges as I was and remain a big fan of his 28mm Crimean War sculpts released as Great War Miniatures through Northstar Miniatures.

He was a massive talent and his miniatures are peerless. I feel privileged to have communicated with him.

Aly was always very complimentary and commented frequently on my posts for which I was always gratified. He took the time to encourage others and I, in turn, enjoyed reading his posts.

I would have liked very much to have engaged with Aly in person and got to know him better than I did.

If he has gone anywhere, I hope he is wargaming still.
