The SFA038B - Standing Firing Lance Corporal represents a junior non-commissioned officer engaged in combat, standing ready with his rifle during one of the most famous conflicts of the Victorian era.
Lance corporals were experienced soldiers who assisted officers and senior non-commissioned officers in maintaining order and discipline within their units. On the battlefield, they were expected to lead from the front and provide an example to those around them.
During the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879, British troops faced the highly organised and determined warriors of the Zulu Kingdom. Battles such as Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift demonstrated the importance of training, leadership and battlefield discipline.
This figure portrays the courage and professionalism of the individual soldier, making it a valuable addition to collections focused on Victorian military history, colonial warfare and the Zulu War period.
