Conte's Beau Geste playset included a vignette of the "Viking's Funeral" of Beau. His brother Digby managed set up Beau's funeral in the barracks of Fort Zinderneuf. The dead Sergeant Markoff is the "dog" at Beau's feet. In the 1939 film Digby, played by Robert Preston, plays Last Post with a handkerchief muffled bugle. Brian Donlevy played the evil Sergeant with Gary Cooper as Beau. This vignette is close to the film except for the French flag Digby shrouded Beau with so I painted the pillow as the French Flag. The two figures of Cooper and Donlevy are pretty close for portraits for 54mm figures.
