NA455 "The Wellington Command Set"

This special 4-figure set shows the Duke himself dressed as he is portrayed in portrait paintings and on the big screen in the uniform style he wore at Waterloo.

Alongside him are three of his most famous subordinate commanders...

Lord Uxbridge, his cavalry commander, is dressed in Hussar uniform. It was Uxbridge, who during the battle had his right leg shot off by a French cannon ball and remarked to the Duke, “By God, sir, I’ve lost my leg!”

Wellington calmly replied, “By God, sir, so you have!”

Despite his leg being amputated, without antiseptic or anaesthetics, Uxbridge went on to enjoy a long and relatively happy life, dying in 1854.

Sir Thomas Picton, this senior officer wearing civilian attire, was alas not quite so lucky at Waterloo... While Wellington admired Picton’s courage and military capability he was less than happy with this soldier’s manners... “A rough, foul-mouthed devil as ever lived” was the Duke’s assessment.

Appointed to command the British 5th Infantry Division at Waterloo he was killed by a musket ball to the head while leading his troops in defence of La Haye Sainte farmhouse.

Sir Alexander Gordon was one of the Duke’s most able and trusted Aide de Camps. He joined Wellington during the Peninsular War and saw plenty of active service with him before joining him again during The Hundred Days Campaign leading up to Waterloo.

It was there that he was severely wounded leading a battalion of Brunswickers attempting to hold back a French advance.

Wellington himself, rarely a man to show emotion, wept at the news of his friend’s death.

NA469 "The Duke of Wellington"

For those collectors who may only want the standing solo figure of the great man himself... Here he is in all his glory...

VN081 "ANZAC Special Forces Set #1"

Two ANZAC SAS troopers watching and waiting for the enemy. As you can see, like all Special Forces at that time in Vietnam, the men could select whatever camouflage uniforms suited them best and were the most comfortable.

That was the same with the weapons they carried... personal choice and mission suitability was the order-of-the-day when selecting personal weapons.

Our pointing ‘Team Leader’ is wearing a set of the U.S. made ERDL camouflage combat uniform first developed by the U.S. in 1967 with limited supplies being issued to Special Forces units in 1968.

ANZAC initiative ensured that anyone who wanted a set could obtain one!

The Team Leader’s weapon is a heavily modified standard L1A1 Self Loading Rifle with a forward pistol grip, a shortened barrel and fitted with a 30 round box magazine from the 7.62mm Bren Gun.

His weapon is also camouflaged as is his face. All kinds of additional ammo pouches and extra water canteens are added onto his webbing and back pack.

The second figure is also carrying a modified SLR with the longer Bren magazine attached. This SAS trooper is wearing a locally-purchased ‘Tiger Stripe’ uniform originally designed for South Vietnamese paratroopers and particularly suitable for jungle conditions.

VN096 "ANZAC Special Forces Set #2"

This second 2-man set has a kneeling trooper armed with an M16 fitted with the M203 Grenade Launcher. He’s also wearing the locally-made ‘Tiger Stripes’ and has the special webbing pouches that carry extra M203 rounds.

The other SAS trooper, wearing the ERDL camouflage is carrying the British-made Sterling sub machine gun with the 30 round curved magazine. Both the Australian and New Zealand Armies tested out this weapon but only the Kiwis purchased it... So, chances are this particular SAS Trooper is a ‘Kiwi’.

Buglers on these ships would make bugle calls for ‘change of watches’... ‘stand down’... ‘action stations’ and others throughout the day and sometimes into the night.
