BSAP – British South Africa Police

Gun Crew

The early part of the war the BSAP provided mountain guns such as the 12 ½ pdr and 7 pdrs. The 7 pdr of the Battle of Saisi fame was known as ‘May Jackson’ and manned by a European and African gun crew. The African gun crew members were members of the BSAP Native Police and manned their gun bravely at the Battle of Saisi.

Underfire Miniatures produce this 28mm gun crew for the BSAP figures.

BSAP SERVICE COMPANIES WWI EAST AFRICA, NR BORDER AND PEA.

Great to see Underfire Miniatures producing these figures in 28mm and I received my first batch. What great figures they are.

British South Africa Police service companies in WWI EA, PEA and a 7 – 12 pdr gun crew . British South Africa Police service companies can also double for West India Regiment as there are Wolseley helmets with African faces available. Also many settler units which were called up in Nyasaland, Kenya and Northern Rhodesia wore this kit. The BSAP Native Police figures can also be used for other colonial forces. Some early South African battalions were also wearing bandolier equipment and as all units later went over to the 1908 webbing equipment.

BSAP – British South Africa Police

Service Company

The first photograph is of the BSAP service companies to serve on the Northern Rhodesian border during the WWI East African Campaign. I have them in khaki shirts but they may have also early on used the light blue grey shirt. I have given them blue putties but khaki may have been phased in at a later stage. Later they would start being issued with 1908 webbing.

These figures come with Wolseley Helmeted heads for Europeans and Africans.

The next batch of photographs are of the West India Regiment. The African Wolseley helmeted heads are for the West India Regiment which wore the same uniform as the British troops of the early period in WWI. Thus, these figures give you a second regiment.

The BSAP figures can also be used for settler volunteer units called up during WWI in the East African Campaign. These included Kenya, Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesia.

BSAP 3D PRINTED 20MM POLICE VEHICLES

BSAP (British South Africa Police) 3D Printed Police vehicles by David Michael Freemantle, which are now more detailed and accurate with his new printing machines.

One model is of a Police Kudet based on the Kudu series of protected vehicles which carried police during incidents in the cities, towns and townships.

The other vehicle is the standard Land Rover Mine Protected vehicle but it was the cab which was mainly protected with an armoured tray under the driver and passenger, a roll bar system and conveyor belting round the back of the cab. It was difficult to mine proof the rear cargo tray so it was not advisable to sit in that area if a rear wheel detonated a mine.

BSAP Kudet for riot control etc.

BSAP Mine Protected Land Rover

Isuzu Nissan cargo truck used by BSAP, INTAF and many Government agencies during the period. These chassis became the chassis for the Puma variants and Crocodile Mine and Ambush Protected MAP vehicles. This cargo vehicle also came with a Puma cab.

MOBILE SURGICAL UNIT OF THE RLI

The RLI had a Mobile Surgical Unit developed by ‘Doc’ Maj Cliff Webster so that troopers could be operated on within the ‘Golden Hour’ close to the Fire Force operation. The unit would follow the land tail and get as close as feasibly possible.

The unit consisted of the MSU trailer pulled by a Merc 4.5 GS, The ambulance MAP 7.5 configured as an Ambulance pulling a generator, and a 2.5 Ambulance.

David Michael Freemantle has put this unit together in 20mm scale 3D Printed from the information we have so if anyone has more details or corrections please tell us.

Rhodesian Bush War Models

This is the unit but the generator trailer is still to be added and there should be a Merc 4.5 GS with tilt instead of the Crocodile but who’s to say they might have used a Crocodile. These are all in 20mm scale, 1/72nd.

The generator trailer can be seen sitting next to the tent and MAP 7.5. The tents can separate from the MSU trailer so you can place it being towed. This is an early design so it may change as more detail is added.
