It normally consisted of ten men and was divided into a separate rifle group and Bren group. Each section was led by a corporal armed with a rifle or pistol and included a lance corporal who was in charge of the Bren group. All the section members apart from the corporal carried ammunition for the Bren – 700 rounds in 25 magazines in all. In addition, all men carried grenades. As the war progressed, additional weaponry was acquired. The section leader and\/or second in command would be issued with Thompson or Sten submachine guns (though these were sometimes quietly ‘lost’ to avoid making themselves obvious targets for snipers). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCanadian infantry sections were organised in the same way as their British counterparts.  All three Canadian infantry divisions were trained to conduct amphibious landing operations. Canadians participated in landings at Dieppe, Sicily, Italy, Normandy, the Breskens Pocket and the Rhine crossing. 3rd Canadian Infantry Division conducted so many amphibious assaults they earned the nickname ‘The Water Rats’ from Field Marshal Montgomery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 Plastic Infantry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic Bases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssembly Guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Colour Waterslide Decal Sheets for both British \u0026amp; Canadian Troops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"\u003eModel supplied unassembled and unpainted \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40422788268203,"sku":"402011020","price":44.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/0801\/2971\/products\/402011020_BritishCanadianInfantry01.jpg?v=1627071051"},{"product_id":"british-canadian-army-1943-45-starter-army","title":"British \u0026 Canadian Army (1943-45) Starter Army","description":"\u003cp\u003eTo stem the aggression from Germany, Italy and Japan, Britain and her Commonwealth put huge numbers of men into uniform in WWII.

However, Britain stoically declined to surrender and her army was reforged, fighting back against the might of the Axis powers.
