SFA038A - Standing Firing Private
The SFA038A - Standing Firing Private depicts the frontline infantryman of the Victorian British Army, taking aim and preparing to fire during a battle in southern Africa.
The private soldier formed the foundation of every military unit and carried out the vital role of holding the line under the most demanding conditions. During the Anglo-Zulu War, British infantry relied on disciplined formations and the rapid use of their Martini-Henry rifles to defend against determined Zulu assaults.
The fighting in Zululand tested the skill and endurance of British troops, with engagements ranging from defensive stands to large-scale battles involving thousands of warriors. Individual soldiers faced the constant challenge of maintaining accuracy and discipline under extreme pressure.
A finely detailed representation of the Victorian infantryman, this figure is perfect for collectors recreating scenes from the Anglo-Zulu War and the wider era of British colonial campaigns.
Available from The Military Workshop.
