The nickname the “Cherry Tarts” was given to the 1st Bath Battalion Anglican League (The Bishop’s Guard) by the British Union of Fascists because of their red beret.
This is the second squad of the Bishop’s Guard to be painted.

I have started the final ten of these to finish off the platoon and they will also double up as more Partisans as well. With the command squads, support and specialist weapons also in the pipeline this VBCW project will be finished by the end of the week.
Great work on your second unit of tarts Dave
Thanks John. They are really quick and easy to paint and come up quite well.
Nicely done, Dave! š Bit of variation in the figures but a common theme with the colours to tie them together!
Thanks John. I didn’t want them to look too much like a regular unit but wanted the uniform as it is distinctive.
They look great- rather uniform too.
Cheers,
Pete.
Thanks Pete.
Love these mate
Thanks IRO when they are altogether I think they will make a damn fine platoon.
Another great looking set of facists!
…wow, that’s a dodgy sentence!
The Cheery Tarts are part of the Anglican league which are not Fascists (although one could make an good argument for any organised religious body couldn’t one) and are not anti-royalists just anti Eddie!
Here am I talking about fiction as if it is fact!
Ah! I thought they were a part of the BUF for some reason!
