I have a set of thses figures in plastic or resin, and hope to get them painted sometime soo.

By the way, the soldier carrying the wounded is Pte E Lawson VC at Dargai Heights, India 1897
During the attack on the Dargai Heights on the 20th October, 1897, Private Lawson carried Lieutenant K. Dingwall, the Gordon Highlanders (who was wounded and unable to move), out of a heavy fire, and subsequently returned and brought in Private McMillan, being himself wounded in two places.

I work with his grandson!

Another soldier of the Gordons also won the VC in that engagement it was Piper Findlater VC who was shot in the feet during an advance against opposing defences at the Battle of the Dargai Heights; unable to walk, and exposed to enemy fire, he continued playing, to encourage the battalion's advance. The event was widely covered in the press, making Findlater a public hero.

He is also one of the figures in the set.

You've got no argument there Martyn. It a chilly wet and damp day here in Kittery with the temp at 40 feeling like 36 so I'm returning to a sunny day on the Northwest Frontier where I've found two members of the Gordan Highlanders in the heat of it............The Lt.
