As somebody already said on this forum :
this was a Partwork TEST launched in UK by the French Hachette (may be ten years ago): 'Soldiers of the British Empire'. The figures were released by King and Country.
Went four or five issuses: 24th foot South Wales Borders 1879, 11th Hussars Crimea 1854, Naik 2nd Gurkhas Tirah 1897, and NW Mountie 1897. There may have been a Bengal Lancer also?!?!
You can see also at page 11 of the issue #21 of Collector Magazine on K&C site.
Cheers
Carlo
If anybody could publish pictures of the 4/5 pieces existing, it would be appreciated
