Welcome to the August Edition of Sierra Toy Soldier News. Written on a hot and sticky day here in the Bay Area. Summer conditions are still running rampant with wildfires popping up all over the place. The Firefighters, Volunteers and EMT are always doing a superb job. Just typically underpaid, under resourced and by now exhausted. So please spare a thought for these crews this holiday weekend.
We wish all of you a wonderful, peaceful and safe Labor Day Holiday. Summer is nearly over as the kids are back in school. So this weekend its time to fire up the barbeque, relax and like us wonder where did the summer go.
We hope you are planning to come to the Chicago Toy Soldier Show in September. It is being held at the Marriott hotel as normal.
If you would like details plus information on reduced hotel days, just let us know.
We have some great announcements from King and Country, John Jenkins and War Park.
Check out our Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for more pictures.

Occasionally we get a rare opportunity to acquire individual items and complete collections for collectors that are thinning out their collection or from other dealers. These pieces are items that we do not normally stock. All are in mint condition or and in their original boxes, unless specified in the description. Please note these may have been on display.
So these are ideal pages to view if you are looking for that missing piece in your collection or just looking to find some very unique pieces that are not normally available.
This month we have
added a very large collection of Aeroart, St Petersburg figures and also a very large collection of Plastic figures and Play
Sets. We have also added Frontline French and Indian War sets in perfect condition.

American Revolution
The 4th Foot’s nickname was ‘Barrell’s Blues’, taken from the name of a former commanding officer who led the regiment form 1734-1749.
Following the British Army reforms of 1751 the regiment was retitled the 4th (King’s Own) Regiment of Foot and in 1775 was sent to North America.Over the next three years it took part in numerous actions including the battles of Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, Long Island and White Marsh.
The first British soldiers to die in the American Revolution were probably three men from the Light Company of the 4th Foot, who died at Concord Bridge in 1775.
In later centuries the 4th Foot became the King’s Own Royal Regiment and fought in the Crimean War… the Boer War and the First and Second World Wars.
Today it forms part of the modern British Army’s ‘Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment’.

-
MK238 Medieval 'Escalade' Siege Ladder#1
- This six-wheeled Siege Ladder could be easily rolled up to any stone-walled defences and then extended upwards to allow teams of Men-At-Arms to climb up and get to grips with the defenders.
At the same time archers and crossbow men from the attacking force would keep up a steady stream of arrows and bolts on the defenders positions forcing them to take cover behind their upper wall defences.
Each of K&C’s ‘Escalade’ Siege Ladders comes with a team of three original climbing Men-At-Arms carrying an assortment of deadly weapons and shields.
In addition each of these two sets comes packed in a full-colour, sturdy, presentation box.
-
MK247 Medieval 'Escalade' Siege Ladder#2 - This second ‘Escalade’ version has all the same features as #1 but has its very own team of three original climbing Men-At-Arms figures again holding a range of different weaponry and shields. Working alone or together these two machines of war will add an extra special touch of realism to any medieval display or collection

Castle Facade
Here is a brand-new way to make your medieval scenes come alive that won’t cost you a King’s Ransom or completely occupy your display cabinet!
King & Country’s ‘Castle Façade Backdrop’ SP-130 is a 3x section, full-colour rendition of the front façade of a typical medieval castle complete with towers and a main gate.
Produced in top quality foamboard this three piece facade also comes with three easy-to-assemble black boxes that support each of the castle wall sections and can also carry the weight of any defending figures.
All six pieces come flat-packed in a sturdy cardboard box and can be fully assembled in just a few minutes.
Here finally is a colourful, inexpensive and exciting new way to display your medieval collection.
Dimensions: length : 74.5 cm. (29 3/8”), height : 23.0 cm. (9”), depth: 6.0 cm. (2 3/8”) (when fully assembled).

Romans
In my humble opinion, one of the greatest depictions of Ancient Rome was the television series “ROME”, the historical drama that ran for two seasons from 2005-2007 and was set in the first century BC. Although it featured real characters from that period of history including Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony and Cleopatra to name but a few its main protagonists were two humble soldiers… Centurion Lucius Vorenus and Legionary Titus Pullo. Being a fan of the series l’ve long-wanted to depict these two characters to include in our own ‘Streets of Ancient Rome’ collection and here is the first one, Lucius Vorenus. In the series, this character is a veteran centurion of the 13th Legion and struggles to balance his personal beliefs, his duty to his superiors and the needs of his family and friends. In addition, he was portrayed by a great Scottish actor, Kevin Mckidd but that’s another story. This figure will look equally good surrounded by all of our Roman citizens on the streets of Ancient Rome or… on military duty with our large K&C collection of Roman soldiers.

A ‘Long Tom” is a method used for small scale mining that is far more efficient than either the gold pan or the rocker. The “Long Tom” was originally used by the “Forty Niners” in late 1848 just when the gold rush was just getting underway. By 1850 it was in common use in the goldfields, and coupled with a hydraulic nozzle it created such environmental damage it was shortly outlawed. This was probably one of the earliest environmental laws in America. See full description.

Panzer III Ausf
The dusty wind-swept battlefields of North Africa in 1941 marked the rise of one of Germany’s most storied armoured units: the 15. Panzer-Division (15. Pz.Div.) of the Deutsches Afrikakorps, formed in late 1940 by augmenting the experienced 33. Infanterie-Division (Motorized) with the panzers from the veteran Panzer Regiment 8 (Pz.Rgt. 8) of the 10. Panzer-Division. Alongside its sister formation, the veteran 5. leichte Division (soon to be redesignated the 21. Panzer-Division), the 15. Panzer-Division became one of the two armoured fists of the Afrikakorps during Rommel's desert campaigns. Please read full description!
