SFA047C - Kneeling Firing Corporal 24th Foot
Non-commissioned officers were essential to the effectiveness of Victorian infantry units. Corporals helped maintain discipline, directed soldiers during combat, and ensured that commands were carried out on the battlefield.
This figure portrays a kneeling firing corporal of the 24th Foot, capturing a moment of action during the Anglo-Zulu War period. The kneeling firing position provided greater stability and allowed soldiers to make more accurate use of their rifles while presenting a smaller target.
The 24th Regiment of Foot faced some of the most intense fighting of the campaign, including the dramatic encounters that defined the conflict. The courage and endurance of individual soldiers played a major role in the history of the regiment.
The figure’s realistic pose and detailed uniform make it an excellent addition to collections depicting Victorian infantry tactics and colonial warfare.
The Military Workshop provides collectors with historically inspired figures that highlight the different ranks, roles, and experiences that make military history such a compelling subject.
Brand: Thomas Gunn
