HOWITZER
An howitzer is a type of artillery piece characterized by a relatively short barrel and the use of comparatively small propellant charges to propel projectiles at relatively high trajectories, with a steep angle of descent. Until fairly recently, about the end of the Second World War, such weapons were characterized by a barrel length 15 to 25 times the caliber of the gun.

In the taxonomies of artillery pieces used by European (and European-style) armies in the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, the howitzer stood between the \"gun\" (characterized by a longer barrel, larger propelling charges, smaller shells, higher velocities, and flatter trajectories) and the \"mortar\" (which was meant to fire at even higher angles of ascent and descent). Howitzers, like other artillery pieces, are usually organized in groups called batteries.
In the early 20th century the introduction of howitzers that were significantly larger than the heavy siege howitzers of the day made necessary the creation of a fourth category, that of \"super-heavy siege howitzers\". Weapons of this category include the famous Big Bertha of the German Army and the 15-inch (381 mm) howitzer of the Royal Marine Artillery. These large howitzers were transported mechanically rather than by teams of horses. They were transported as several loads and had to be assembled on their firing position.
These field howitzers introduced at the end of the 19th century could fire shells with high trajectories giving a steep angle of descent and, as a result, could strike targets that were protected by intervening obstacles. They could also fire shells that were about twice as large as shells fired by guns of the same size. Thus, while a 75 mm field gun that weighed one ton or so was limited to shells that weighed less than 8 kilograms, a 105 mm howitzer of the same weight could fire 15 kilogram shells. This is a matter of fundamental mechanics affecting the stability and hence the weight of the carriage. However, howitzers had a shorter maximum range than the equivalent gun.

FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION SOLDIER; NORTH AFRICA,

SAHARA DESERT, ALGERIAN CAMPAIGN.
FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION:

The French Foreign Legion (French: Légion étrangère) is a unique military wing of the French Army established in 1831. The foreign legion was exclusively created for foreign nationals willing to serve in the French Armed Forces.Commanded by French officers, it is also open to French citizens Created to fight \"outside mainland

France\", the foreign legion was stationed in Algeria, where it took part of the pacification and development of the colony, by notably drying the marshes in the region of Algiers. The foreign legion was initially divided into \"national battalions\" (Swiss, Poles, Germans...).In late 1831, the first legionnaires landed in Algeria, the country that would be the foreign legion\'s homeland for 130 years and shape its character.

FRENCH REPUBLICAN GUARD:

The Republican Guard (French: Garde républicaine) is part of the French Gendarmerie. It is responsible for providing security in the Paris area and for providing guards of honor. Its missions include:
* Guarding important public buildings in Paris such as the Élysée Palace, the residence of the Prime Minister of France, Hôtel Matignon, the Senate, the National Assembly, the Hall of Justice, and keeping public order in Paris.


* Honor and security services for the highest national personalities and important foreign guests;
* Support of other law enforcement forces (with intervention groups, or horseback patrols);
* Staffing horseback patrol stations, particularly for the forests of the Île-de-France region;
* Transporting and escorting urgent organ transplants. The close physical protection of the President of France is entrusted to the GSPR (Groupe de Sécurité de la Présidence de la République), and the SPHP (Service de Protection des Hautes Personalités), neither is part of the Guard. The Republican Guard also fulfills an important diplomatic role, representing France at international events abroad and receiving important dignitaries at home. The Republican Guard is twinned with the Red Guard of Senegal.

Starlux of France originally produced composition figures. After the war they began to issue injection molded plastic figures in 20mm, 40mm, and 60mm scales. The time periods issured covered Gauls, Modern Soldiers, Space figures, Prehistoric Times and Pirates. The Starlux legacy can be traced back to Elie Tarroux, who created a small toy factory in 1900. She created, molded, and decorated soldiers made from a mixture of adhesive and precipitated chalk. For 38 years Pierre Beffara work with Tarroux. In 1945, Beffara created Starlux. He gave up the chalk for plastics and developed an injection process for his figures. Starlux began operating in Périgueux in 1947.

These figures would go great with any military diorama or historical battle scene. These figures would go great with school projects in history. We have other Hausser Elastolin Toy Soldiers at a great price. visit our other sales on ! you can combine our other sales to save on shipping
