British & Canadian Army Infantry (1943-45)
Bolt Action WWII 28mm Figures – The Commonwealth's Finest
🎖️ "For King and Country" – The Commonwealth's Valiant Infantry 🎖️
The morning fog hung low over the Normandy hedgerows as Corporal William Thompson of the South Lancashire Regiment carefully checked his section's equipment one final time. It had been a long journey from the beaches to this point, and the men were tired but resolute. As section leader, Thompson carried his trusty Sten gun—a weapon he'd initially disliked but had come to appreciate in the close-quarter fighting of the Normandy countryside.
A few meters away, Lance Corporal MacKenzie from the Calgary Highlanders adjusted his Tam o'shanter cap and checked the Bren gun's sights. The Scottish-Canadian had been with the unit since Sicily, and the distinctive headgear marked him among his comrades. "Five minutes, lads," Thompson whispered. "Remember, we move as two groups—rifle team on the left, Bren team covering from the right." The coordinated section tactics had been drilled into them through countless exercises and proven effective in battle after battle. As dawn broke over the hedgerow, the Commonwealth infantry prepared to advance once more toward victory in Europe.
"Infantry wins battles, other arms help the infantry to win battles, but only the infantry can win the battle."
