Little Lost Soldiers


I found more treasure! It's everywhere!! ATTN ALL: Keep your eyes peeled for hidden gems!
These were camouflaged on the turf outside 'The Bower' in Marrickville (appropriate as it is a centre for the 'Lost Artefact' and many treasures can be found both there and at 'Reverse Garbage' around the corner). There came a flash of a young boy grubby in the dirt setting these soldiers against the evil robot (and perhaps paying him off with a pink star button??), a flash of a market stall selling these lost little toys once a huge hit for young school boys, a flash of all the hands they have passed through; all the stories they've inherited and have stored in their tiny plastic outers. It makes me glad that this collector's hobby has not outdated yet!
