State of the collection 2017 - Part 3 - British Infantry and Support
Hi folks,
Trudging forward, my next table full of mini's is my infantry. Now up to 2 rifle companies and 1 support company, I'm one rifle company short of having the whole battalion as at Operation Totalize start on 7/8/44!
For the record (and because I bothered to count!) I currently have 34 painted Universal Carriers and 10 Loyd carriers. There are still more to do, with 2 more Universal Carrier currently on my painting desk (to be part of my planned aid post). And there's good few more in the lead mountain!
A and B Companies, 7th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, 51st Highland Division
Support units: starting back left: medical support from 176 Field Ambulance, RAF Typhoon, Provosts/MP's, Armoured Cars from 2nd Derbyshire Yeomanry, Royal Engineer Field Platoon, 4.2" Mortars, Wasps and Vickers MMG's from 1st/7th Middlesex Regiment.
S Company, 7th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders: Carrier Platoon, 6 Pdr A/T Platoon, 3" Mortar Platoon, Pioneer Platoon.
A and B Companies, with A Company's De-frocked Priests at the rear.
Lovely A&S Highlanders - thats my wife's family's regiment. Her Grandfather served with the A&SH before during and after the War, and 4 of his 5 sons followed in his footsteps before they emigrated to Australia in the late 50s.
Love seeing all your hard work on display mate. Has been a pleasure to watch your collection grow.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for your continued support Dai! I know my serried ranks of English Uniform and Russian Uniform Green are not the most exciting!!!
