Description
"Lou" U.S. ARMY Military Police, 8th Infantry Division, Brittany 1944 The Military Police are a unique branch of the US Army -- while the infantryman fights, it is the MP's often thankless job to enforce military law in the field, safeguard important personnel or valuable material, and see to the proper care and disposition of enemy prisoners of war. US Army 8th Infantry Division MP "Lou Torres" is ready to do just that. Outfitted with his unique MP helmet and brassard, his duty whistle and Thompson M1A1 Submachine gun at the ready, "Lou Torres" represents a classic MP corporal of the "Pathfinder" Division in Brittany 1944. Ordered to clear Brittany's Crozon Peninsula of enemy activity as Autumn 1944 approached, the mighty 8th Division accomplished the mission in only four days -- capturing over 7,000 enemy prisoners of war in the process. A difficult logistical situation for any army, but DML's MP "Lou Torres" will get the job done! Lou comes complete with the following items;
