On 1st September 1 Cavalry Brigade were billeted in the small French town of Néry, that morning they were surprised by a German attack from the East.
Despite immediately suffering horrific casualties, the gunners of ‘L’ Battery Royal Horse Artillery were able to keep one gun in action. The action of those men meant the German attack faltered and the British cavalry regiments were able to reform and push back the Germans.
Three men of ‘L’ Battery were subsequently awarded Britain’s highest military award for bravery, the Victoria Cross.
Found this Gem from Tommys War on Ebay and got it for a stupid price, so well happy.
54mm Vignette of L Battery royal horse artillery consisting of;
13 Pounder QF gun, Carriage limber
Four crew figures (two on gun, one with ammunition and casualty)
Spare shells and empty shell cases
Already constructed the carriage Limber, nothing complicated, need to paint into the shell holders and paint the front padding and seat canvas;
Parts for the actual 13 Pounder QF gun
Will also be a thread for the figures and the Vignette, not for a while though
