Treefrog Treasures in cooperation with W. Britain is hosting a new feature called “Battle Lines” on its web site. Battle Lines consists of essays about individual figures produced for collectors by W. Britain . The motivation behind these essays is that “Every Soldier Tells A Story”.
Battle Lines' purpose is to enhance the enjoyment and knowledge of collectors of the current series (2006 to the present) of W. Britain Soldiers. When a collector purchases one of these soldiers they are provided with information such as the war that the figure represents, the date of service, the regiment or unit of that figure, and indication of rank.
Battle Lines goes beyond that basic information to tell you more of that soldier’s “story”. This is accomplished through a series of brief essays that examine each soldier in historical and cultural context. There is information about the particular unit and battles that the soldier participated in and the uniform, weapons and equipment associated with him. Pictures of the soldier are often supplemented with additional images of historic relevance. It is our hope that after reading these articles you will come away with a greater appreciation and understanding of the W. Britain soldiers that you are collecting.
There are currently seven essays on the site covering ten different W. Britain figures. Additional essays will be added on a continuing basis and we will let collectors know about these through announcements in the Treefrog Rivet and on the Treefrog Treasures Toy Soldier Forum.
You can access these essays through the Resources button on the main page of the Treefrog Treasures web site
