  1. The first is a Britains copy of the rare British Camel Corps. The red plastron officer is either a Britains conversion or copy, probably the latter, due to the presence of lead rot. Britains seldom has it, due to the greater tin content. The four horsemen look Hillco, but may be Britains second grade. Look for the mark John Hill Co on the saddlecloth fringe.The French and the Austrian look like Fry. The Station Master (the dark coated fellow looking like a sea captain) is a Britains. The lady looks like a repainted Eastern People woman from Britains. The grenade thrower is either a Crescent or Charbens. The standing man is a Timpo. The Porter is a Hillco, but looks repainted.
