“British 24th Foot Stretcher Bearer Set” is a historical miniature set depicting medical evacuation troops of the 24th Regiment of Foot carrying wounded soldiers on a stretcher during the Anglo-Zulu War period.

These figures are typically part of diorama ranges based on the Battle of Rorke's Drift and other actions of 1879 in South Africa.

Typical contents:

  • Two British stretcher bearers in Victorian infantry uniform
  • One wounded soldier figure (sometimes included or sold separately)
  • Stretcher accessory (canvas or wooden frame design)
  • 54mm / 1:30 scale hand-painted metal miniatures
  • Designed for battlefield evacuation or hospital vignette scenes

Historical context:

  • During the Anglo-Zulu War, the 24th Regiment of Foot suffered heavy casualties in major engagements such as Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift
  • Stretcher bearer parties were responsible for retrieving wounded under fire and transporting them to dressing stations or field hospitals
  • These units were unarmed or lightly armed, focusing on medical evacuation rather than combat
