Battle of Slim River WW2 Malaya



One of my favourite WW2 kit bash. A 28th Gurkha Brigade private. The Gurkhas were credited for giving the invading Japanese a tough battle. I manage a find a WW1 ammo pouch that were used in Malaya in 1941. Small details make big impact on the figures. Uniform is from BBi SAS Desert Rats figures. Rare stuff this days.

Here are some great books written on the war in Malaya:
