Hello!

Is there any horse-mounted 15 mm British WWII infantry range?

Cheers

As there were no horse-mounted British infantry in WWII, probably not.  :)

If on the other hand you wanted WWII British cavalry, try WWI types, they would look the same. British Cavalry only served in the Middle East until 1941, so a WWI 'Palestine' range would suit best.

Cavalry ... who acted as mounted infantry  lol

few real cavalry charges in WW2 , the Free French Spahis in Eritrea for sure ... the Spahis charge , june 1940 in la Horgne was propaganda, they fought on foot ...
Dans les situations critiques, quand on parle avec un calibre bien en pogne, personne ne conteste plus. Y'a des statistiques là-dessus.

Eureka's Australian Light Horse, with a few modifications to the headwear might suit http://www.eurekamin.com.au/index.php?cPath=87_102_108

They could of course act as mounted infantry when required, but cavalry they were nonetheless. Gentlemen volunteers from Staffordshire were amongst their number too, which made 6th Cavalry Brigade a particularly high status formation. *sniff*  ;)
