Description
King and Country AL086 New Zealand Mounted Rifles Officer
Service revolver thrust forward this officer leads his men in the charge.
Fighting alongside the Australians in Palestine, Gallipoli, Egypt and the Western Front were their Antipodean ‘cousins’... The New Zealanders. Although then as now New Zealand is a relatively small country (in terms of population) it has provided many thousands of fine fighting men in both world wars and other conflicts. In 1914 it offered its best volunteers to help support the “Mother Country” in its war against Germany. Among those soldiers were the men of their own “Mounted Rifle Regiments” who performed in the same military role as Australia’s Light Horse units. After arriving in Egypt in 1915 they helped form the very first joint ANZAC * mounted division.
*Australian New Zealand Army Corps
Over the years since King & country has introduced their Light Horse figures we have been requested to design and release some of their Kiwi cousins ... and this is them.
he US$ price is $109 and A$ cost will be calculated at time of purchase.
