WW1 Suggestions/VC Winner (1 Viewer)

[Rob]

Could I humbly suggest that a great addition to the WW1 range would be a gun from the Royal Horse Artillery,even better would be a gun manned by the Heroic Captain Edward Kinder Bradbury.On the 1st September 1914 at Nery he was the only officer of L Battery not killed or wounded who continued to resist the Germans although heavily outnumbered and outgunned,despite losing a leg whilst fetching ammo he continued to direct the battery until he died of his wound,for this astonishing act of bravery and resistance he was awarded the VC.

As well as a great addition to the WW1 series I think this would be another worthy addition to Rob's (Vandilay)superb idea of a VC series.

Good idea, the exploits of the BEF in August - October 1914 would be a great addition to the K&C Great War range. A RHA limber and gun both limbered galloping to and fro and unlimbered ready for action would be spectacular. Britains did a set as do Maision Militaire.

Another range I'd love to collect is the Aces of WW1, Albert Ball, William Barker, Francesco Baracca, Eddie Rickenbacker, the Von Richthoffens, Udet, Olieslagers Nungesser etc etc all spring to mind - how about an early FB5a Gunbus or late Fokker D VII in 1/32nd scale given the K&C treatment?

I agree,K&C's quality and realism would really bring something to these figures.

I know WB did this but I'd love to see K&C make a figure of Sidney Frank Godley who won the First WW1 VC for holding back the Germans with his machine gun at Nimy Bridge despite being wounded twice,his actions that day allowed the BEF to retire in good order and cost the Germans considerable casualties (He was aided in this by Lt Maurice Dease who died of wounds during the action).
