[MR] Angus McBride

[Sharon Gordon]

This was on another list I subscribe to, and may be of interest to some on here, many of whom will have Osprey's with his work in I'm sure.

"Gentlemen,

Bad News.  I just had a call from Osprey, who told me that Angus McBride
has just passed  away. Apparently the 76-year old artist suffered from a
major heart attack.  He had recently moved from South Africa to Ireland
to be with his daughter,  and was living and working from a cottage in
the grounds.

I worked  with him on a series of four pirate books for Osprey, and
found him an  extremely charming, witty and fun-loving gentleman. He was
by far the best  and most respected military artist of his generation,
and we'll all feel his  loss.

Angus Konstam
