Hi,
this post within my little series about the "Boxer Rebellion" is dedicated to the German 3rd Seabatallion. A very stylish unit because of their helmets. Maybe you know the famous painting of Carl Röchling called "Germans to the front". I have also added a picture of this painting to the post.
The 3rd Seabatallion was part of the international force under command of the British General Seymour that was sent to rescue the besieged alllied troops in Peking in June 1900.
The figures are again from the wonderful range "Peking 1900" made by TeamMiniatures. This small series contains at least 10 figures and every single miniature is fantastic.
Just a fun fact - Tsingtao was a German colony in China and the Germans established a brewery there in 1903. Tsingtao beer is one of the two biggest breweries in China and also one of the ten biggest breweries in the world. It is exported into more than 100 countries. What a wonderful combination - collecting toysoldiers while enjoying some good beer. :)
Cheers
Mike
