Hello!

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

Cheers

Wellington

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.

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*  ;)
