“DISPATCHES”
1. APPEARING IN JUNE
A. “ARNHEM…INTO BATTLE!”
Last month we launched our first batch of “Pathfinder” British Paratroopers to join our ARNHEM’44/Market Garden series. This month it’s the addition of seven more men of the British 1st. Airborne Division including another Victoria Cross winner…
MG037(P) “Advancing With Rifle”
This para cautiously moves forward, his Lee Enfield rifle at the ready, on the lookout for the enemy.
MG038(P) “Advancing with Sten Gun”
Another para, perhaps in the same patrol as MG037, edges carefully on, Sten Gun in one hand…signaling behind with the other.
MG039(P) “Crouching Bren Gunner”
Holding what was probably the best Light Machine Gun of WW2 in his hands this “red beret” can fit into any Arnhem display or diorama and look great!
MG040(P) “Kneeling with Rifle”
One more airborne soldier with his trusty Lee Enfield…at the ready.
MG042(P) “Major Robert Cain V.C.”
Robert Cain was a company commander with the 2nd. Battalion, South Staffordshire Regiment, part of 1st. Airborne’s Air Landing Brigade (they came by glider not parachutes).
During Arnhem his exemplary courage, leadership and skill with the PIAT anti tank rocket launcher (knocking out several German tanks) led to him being awarded Britain’s highest military honour. He was also wounded three times during the battle but continued to fight and lead his men with great gallantry and endurance throughout.
Our figure shows him pistol drawn moving to a new position with the PIAT on his shoulder.
MG044(P) “The Grenadier”
This Para is taking no chances…Sten Gun in one hand a “Mills” grenade in the other…ready to throw.
MG045(P) “Fighting Glider Pilot”
Many of the pilots in the “Glider Pilot Regiment” were former soldiers…Once their glider had landed and disgorged the troops the pilot and co pilot were expected to fight alongside their “human cargo”…This sergeant pilot is no exception…Note his pilot’s wings above the left pocket on his “Denison” smock.
tune in tomorrow for the rest of the dispatches...
