Bofors 40mm Anti Aircraft gun with Irish crew.  The two seated crew are not wearing theit tunics to give the impression that they have manned the weapon in haste.  John Murphy sculpted the two figures when I told him my idea, and that then lead to John sculpting additional figures to represent the Irish Army in 1940.








 Army and Marine Service officer and ratings.

The figure in the back is carrying a Thompson smg, and the other two are firing 303 rifles.

Bren Gun Carrier and two cavalry troopers (one armed with a Lewis gun).


Officer and two privates (one armed with a Lewis gun, as there were a shortage of Bren guns initially during the Emergency).
