Let's discuss: Reenacting!

[Ililsa]

Just found out that at the Battle of the Standard re-enactment at Kelmarsh, my group is going to be on the Scottish side as part of their heavy infantry.

Booooooo.

Especially sucks as the Battle was fought outside the town I was born in, and the English forces rallied at the castle in the town where I live now.

Going to be digging trenches and doing drill in the SC heat and humidity this weekend. I fully expect to be covered in ticks by the time comes to go home on Sunday.

Sounds like my next event next weekend. 90-100*+ weather, humid, mosquitos, black flies, rain... I'll be digging trench sleeping quarters with some guys in my group, that's going to be fun in the heat.

This may be a mighty long shot, but does anyone know of a WW1 French group in the UK, it's the main impression I'd love to start but can't find a unit anywhere

[Barnesy]

There is one... they were at colchester this weekend.
Looking on the Colchester Military Tournament the group's name is "Croix de Guerre" although I can't find anything else online about them... they were def there though cos look!

I'll ask my friend who's more in the know about WW1 than me and see if he can get contact details


EDIT: Found itttt http://www.c20warfare.org/Listpage.htm

I've already grown one, but I have the feeling it makes me look like a slightly insane victorian poet rather than a rampaging scotsman.
