Wullie - Look down the page!!!!  :)  For some reason this site likes to add other soldiers to the top no matter who you are looking for!  LOL


These are Swedish folk toy soldiers...the one on the far right looks kinda familiar....

   Yea I would like to know too,  I had to go look it up and all I could find is it was a Turnip, and nothing in my English Slang link,  Oh maybe I should try Scottish Slang, I have been finding it fun to look some of Willie's crazy slang words up.  ???
