I'm looking to add an Australian contingent to my 28mm Colonial forces.
What I'm after is Boer War era styled troopers in high collar khaki uniforms, with diagonal .303 bandoliers and slouch hats.

Strangely though, this iconic figure seems to be rather elusive – I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for me please?

thanks!

I have some from Wargames Founry that are very good.

Here are some pictures of the Boer War "British" mounted infantry:

Hmmm, these could just about be used for any mounted yeomanry even through the 1930s.

Thanks Gents!

Are those OG figs true 25s? Most of my figs are 28mm

The OG figures are 28s.
