One more set, that came in today, is 8920 Mark 10 General Service Wagon with Army Service Corps 4 Man Detachment, 1914.
"Even before organised warfare and standing armies came into being, horse transportation was used for military purposes.
Until late in the 18th Century this form of transport was the responsibility of civilian contractors until the introduction of the Royal Waggoners in 1794.
This wagon design is closely related to the North American settlers version as its inception was loosely based on this tried and tested formula.
The Mark 10, a modification of the Mark 9, was introduced in 1905 to reduce costs. The GBP60.00 manufacturing cost was a saving of GBP12.00 over its predecessor.
This Premier Series model recreates the famous G.S. Wagon, manned by men of the British Army Corps who were responsible for supply duties throughout the First World War."
This is a favorite of mine. While I do like Artillery Sets, when horses are within a set, it is even better :smile2: :wink2:
