[AA83] The Empire Strikes Back - Cold War Brits

Trench foot rears its ugly head once again.

Turning the clock back to the Cold War, here's a pack of British soldiers.


-Squaddie, Mk IV
Bog-standard British soldier.

-Squaddie, Mk IV, Riot
Calling it the Troubles is quite the understatement, since face-shields and flak jackets are standard issue up in Norn Iron.

-Squaddie, Mk IV, Scrim
While those bloody yanks get factory made helmet covers, the lowly Squaddie has to cobble one up from hessian sacks and cloth strips.

-Squaddie, Mk IV, Dangerous
Sometimes you need to sacrifice dignity in order to stay warm.

-Squaddie, Mk IV, NBC
The comfort level of wearing gas masks for extended periods of time has not improved much since the Great War.

-Squaddie, Mk 6, Woodland
Amazingly, the MOD has finally brought the British fighting man to the late 20th century.

-Squaddie, Mk 6, Desert
Bloody 'ell me rifle keeps on jamming!
