Cool find, Armand! The first force completed is 3 Sections of Sikh's form the Indian army. The figures are from Foundry's Darkest Africa range so are a bit early for the inter-war period but they were the figures I liked the look of the most so tough. The British and Indian armies at the time had a 'Square' organisation where platoons were made up of 4 sections, two of which would be LMG sections, and these would be led be a officer and an NCO. As you can see, I'm a section short and have no LMG's (probably Lewis Guns at the time) so again, i'm in the wrong. But there were plenty of militia and frontier forces around at the time so It's perfectly reasonable to assume that my doughty Sikh's are a Guide force of some kind or even that number 4 section are at the barracks cleaning the Lewis guns as some kind of punishment. Or maybe just to keep the Lewis Guns working… IIRC they have a bit of a reputation for not liking dusty conditions! |
