We few, we happy few, we band of brothers

Inspired by Shakespeare's St. Crispin's Day speech from Henry V, this 75mm multi-pose kit commemorates the Battle of Agincourt, 1415 — one of history's great against-all-odds victories. The set contains 42 parts, enough to build two complete English knights with a vast array of accessories allowing virtually hundreds of configurations. Can be used as a vignette, two independent subjects, or the anchor of a large diorama.

Sculptor: Oriol Quin. Number of parts: 42. Produced in high-quality resin. Unpainted — assembly required. Not recommended for children under 14.

“This day is call’d the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say “To-morrow is Saint Crispian.”
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say “These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.”
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words—
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester—
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.”
