This is a fantastic display or, for the reenactor, the ultimate representation of the British "Tommy" on D-Day and into the invasion of France. You simply won't find a better full collection outside of a museum. This took a long time to put together but is offered for sale to those who appreciate the value of the entire display and the effort taken to acquire it.
