The Afrika Korps
World War II
spread to the North African desert when Italian forces in Libya clashed
with British troops in Egypt. In 1941, the German Army sent two division
to bolster Italian forces.
Known as the Afrika Korps, this German expeditionary force quickly
made itself the stuff of legend.
Led by Field Marshall Erwin Rommel, these divisions defeated forces
much larger than themselves.
They seemed unbeatable.
It took the combined forces if Britain and America to finally
overcome the Afrika Korps.

A rifleman with bayonet advances to the enemy. Finally, a grenadier tosses the

poses!

World War II British Army
Blokes
The British
involvement in World War II began in 1939, shortly after Germany invaded
Poland. British troops were
involved in all theaters of the War.
They fought in Europe, North Africa, Burma, China, Malaya,
Singpaore and the Far East.
Dressed and equipped with practical uniforms and gear, the
well-trained British forces were
a serious threat to their Axis
enemies.
Our British
Army Blokes are painted in the uniforms of World War II. The green-tinged field gear
quickly faded to khaki tan.
Brown drab was standard for British forces fighting in temperate
areas, such as Europe.
Our trio includes an officer, submachine gunner and grenadier. These are action poses that have
the feel of troops in battle!
By the way, "bloke" is a colloquial term for a man. It is commonly used in Great Britain and Ireland.

Cold War Era British Army
Blokes
Starting at
the end of World War II, the British Army switched its uniform colors from
brown drab to a drab green. Field gear was also issued in green. The "turtle shell" helmet had
replaced the old trench helmet. The result was a modern look. Green was
the British uniform color from the Korean War on into the early 1970s,
when camouflage replaced it.
British
troops were busy in the Cold War era. Along with service in Korea,
green-clad soldiers found themselves dealing with insurgencies in Malaya,
Kenya, Oman, the Middle East and Northern Ireland.
Our trio of British Blokes includes an officer with Webley pistol, a grenadier and a soldier firing an automatic weapon. These are excellent poses packed with action. They are a piece of history marking Great Britain's military expeditions during the Cold War.
By the way. "bloke" is British slang for a man.
