For people adoring playing and collecting toy soldiers (Elastolin, Lineol, Durso, Britains, Marx, Timpo, Starlux and many others). I am presenting images of vintage toy soldiers as a historical curiosity without endorsement of any political ideology and propaganda of war.

Belgian Rijkswacht/Gendarmerie composition soldiers
After obtaining its independence in 1830, the new Belgian state created its own national Rijkswacht/Gendarmerie on the basis of the already existing constabulary.From its creation, the Rijkswacht/Gendarmerie was formally part of the Belgian Army.
During the Second World War, the Rijkswacht/Gendarmerie was restricted to the role of administrative and legal police force, primarily concerned with road traffic.
