It has begun to circulate on several blogs that the military illustrator Bob Marrion has passed away. Those of us that acquired our interest in military history during the 1970s will remember his superb uniform plates in the magazine Military Modelling, and he continued to produce very fine renditions until fairly recently in numerous uniform books. While there are other military artists that can match his work, none can surpass him. I am lucky enough to own a signed print of a Rebel minuteman, generously given to me by the writer Stuart Asquith. I also have one of Marrion's magazine illustrations framed on my living room wall, such was the quality of his work. Our condolences to his family. MGB
