USMC068
King & Country
All U.S. Military officers were issued with the standard sidearm, the Colt M1911 semi-automatic Pistol. In addition many WW2 infantry officers also carried the M1 Carbine, a lightweight, semi-automatic carbine that saw extensive use in the Korean and South Vietnam conflicts.
Like all his men this officer also carries the full back pack same as his men.
These new Marine figures are assembling and then moving forward to their next objective. All nine are ‘locked and loaded’ and come with full backpacks and folded camouflaged tent halves on top of their packs.
As well as fitting into any WW2 Pacific war scene these same Marines could also be used for a Korean War display. After all the vast majority of their equipment, weapons and uniforms were still of WW2 vintage!
