Douglas Miniatures was a British company active in the late 1960s and 1970s. They manufactured 20mm figures in three ranges: Crimean War, Napoleonic and Seven Years War/Malburian. The business is no longer active; additional information can be found on the Vintage 20mil site:

According to a recent entry at the Old Metal Detector, it looks like the Douglas Crimean War range is going to be available again at some point.
Thanks for the comment. You are correct. Since posting this, I have been in touch with the current owner, and he has provided details. I will post details in the next day or so.
