SFA027 - British Soldier Ready to Repel
The SFA027 - British Soldier Ready to Repel portrays a determined British infantryman preparing for close combat during the brutal fighting of the Anglo-Zulu War.
When facing a determined enemy at close range, Victorian soldiers relied on discipline, training and the strength of their formations. The combination of rifle fire and bayonet defence was essential when Zulu warriors managed to break through the distance and engage British troops directly.
This figure captures the tense moment before combat — the soldier standing ready, prepared to defend his position against a powerful assault. It reflects the reality of 19th century warfare, where battles could quickly shift from long-range exchanges to desperate hand-to-hand fighting.
Ideal for recreating scenes from the famous battles of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift, this figure adds drama and realism to any military display.
A classic representation of the Victorian British soldier and a valuable addition for collectors of colonial-era history.
Available from The Military Workshop.
Brand: Thomas Gunn
