Chosen Man, Rifleman Harris

Over several years I have been fortunate to attend many of the December London Toy Soldier Shows and encounter actor Jason Salkey who played the fictional 'Rifleman Harris' in the television series.
At last year's 2025 December Show, Jason was again in attendance accompanied by fellow actor Hugh Fraser who memorably played Sir Arthus Wellesley, The Duke of Wellington in the same series. On this occasion Jason was selling his memoir of the making of the series, "From Crimea With Love: Misadventures in the Making of Sharpe's Rifles" which I purchased and eagerly devoured after the show.
It's a fantastic and fascinating account of the production of a historic television series sometimes under the most difficult and harrowing of circumstances. There are all kinds of heroes, villains, knaves and scoundrels involved and not only up on the screen but just behind the cameras and lights as well!
Anyway it's a great book and I was delighted to tell Jason that he was going to be immortalized in 1:30 scale miniature for this series and so here he is...
