Corgi Forward March Series British Soldier With Mine Detector. CC59158REF: CC59158 Scale: 1:32 54mm Tall Limited Edition New Tooling From the new Corgi Forward March series of hand painted die-cast figures comes this finely detailed model of a British Soldier with Mine Detector, North Africa. Pre-painted figure of a British Engineer helping to clear a path through the enemy minefields. For three Years, Axis and Allied forces chased each other over the hostile terrain of the North African desert. The tide turned in the Allies' favour at the Second Battle of El Alamein in 1942. British General Montgomery spent months building up an overwhelming advantage in men and armour, before launching his attacks against Field Marshal Rommel's German and Italian troops. Winston Churchill was convinced that the battle of El Alamein marked the turning point of the war and ordered the ringing of church bells all over Britain. As he said later: "Before Alamein we never had a victory, after Alamein we never had a defeat".
