Any plans for British or Empire infantry in shirtsleeves/ battledress trousers and  bare helmets for Italy in summer? Haven't seen close-up pics of 8th army to see if a bit of filing/pva would make shorts into trousers, but should be a good base to start from. Support weapons could use shorts. I think others have enquired about Indian troops before, but, long ago, I read memoirs concerning Gurkha and Indian units  in Italy which could could also use some figures at some point.   :)

I've already done my father in miniature, 2nd East Yorkshire June 1944

Led to some good advice when my son was using them, "be careful with that infantry or you could get your grandpa killed" :o

I don't have any Canadian forces at the moment; the D-Day Dodgers would be a good choice.

I'd welcome Indian infantry for North Africa, Sculptor Sahib.

Turban headed Indian figures, Sikhs or Punjabi can also double for the 14th Army. Please can we have one with a Bren gun?
