TW32BE01 – Private, Middlesex Regiment, Mons 1914

Tommy’s War is a range of British and Empire model figures based on the British and Empire armed forces of World War One.

One of the first British regiments in action in the WW1 was the 4th Middlesex Regiment, who held the right of the line for II Corps along the Mons-Conde canal on August 23rd 1914. This figure shows a member of that Regiment as he would have appeared moving up in to the front line prior to the battle, he is shown with the 1908 web equipment and shoulders a MkII Short Magazine Lee Enfield (SMLE). His relaxed pose reflects the misunderstanding of the horrors that the army would see during the course of World War One.

The Middlesex Regiment, known as the Die Hards, were a famous British Army regular Battalion who fought with distinction in the Great War. Indeed, the first recorded casualty of the war was Private John Parr, was killed on 21st August 1914.
