You could do some in trousers and boots - no shirt or hat and they would serve for just about everyone.

I've just found this site with a list of all the artillery used in the war, we'll just need to assign these to the various nations: https://www.militaryfactory.com/armor/korean-war-artillery.asp

The ZPU series of AAA would be mighty to have included in the Korean range.  They would proxy well into the 1980s in all sorts of bush wars with Soviet/WP clients.

Thanks for finding all those reference piccies, Nobby ! 

I was about to thank you last night, when EE played silly sods again.

That artillery list - NO 25pdr, used in large numbers. Also don't think many if any 17pdr were sent. No US RCL's shown. Overall not a good reference.

Ian' s on the money. 

I have seen images of 25prds (Brit & Commonwealth) I may have seen British 6pdrs ?  No 17pdrs as yet .

The list seems to annotate what was around in 1950-53, but like the Comet may not have been deployed to the warzone.

Sorry definitely no Comets, we used Cents, a small number of Cromwells (rgt recce Troop), and the first squadron there was equipped with Churchill VII Crocodiles, WITHOUT flame trailers. I suspect the 17pdrs weren't sent, the super Bazooka and Cents thought to be sufficient to deal with any armour threats. BAT was also possible, but again I don't think any went.

Ummm.  Which is the point I was making.    Read what I posted.

A lot of these "army lists" annotate what was available/issued in 1950-53 but that does NOT mean they were actually deployed in the theatre.  8  I cited the Comet as a classical example  - it even appeared in - was it CWC Korea OOBs  ?

I would stick to (a) sourced images that can be identified as Korean War (b) primary source reports and well researched histories.
The BAT ? Don't think so. It was never mentioned at Warminster as being deployed in Korea- and instructors always were keen to stress any live firing a weapon had.

Phil, have you noticed the following text in the topic area "No unread topics found since your last visit. Click here to try all unread topics. "
If you click on the link and it gives you all that are currently unread... all in one place, though it does sometimes seem to miss a few for reasons I haven't fathomed yet

Hopefully I'm pointing out something you've missed and not trying to describe something you already know about

[Techno]

I'll give that a whirl, next time EE plays silly sods.

Thanks, Paul.

Cheers - Phil.
