The 0.303 inch Bren light machine gun was a focal weapon in the armoury of the British infantry; in action it was bipod-mounted, and constituted the main armament of an infantry section.This realistic 1:32 scale white metal, hand-painted figure epitomises an almost iconic element in the 1942 battle which turned the tide of war in the North Africa desert.

For three Years, Axis and Allied forces chased each other over the hostile terrian of the North African desert. The tide turned in the Allies' favour at the Second Battle of El Alamein in 1942. British General Montgomery spent months building up an overwhelming advantage in men and armour, before launching his attacks against Field Marshal Rommel's German and Italian troops. Winston Churchill was convinced that the battle of El Alamein marked the turning point of the war and ordered the ringing of church bells all over Britain. As he said later: "Before Alamein we never had a victory, after Alamein we never had a defeat".
