There
are two different sort of events we attend - public shows and
'private' battles. Public shows are events such as the War and
Peace show, where the general public can come and see what you
do. Private battles are for re-enactors only. Re-enactors from
all over the country get together with blank firing weapons,
usually hired on the day, and attempt to re-live a fictional battle of World War II.
For
private battles we wear the later war M43 clothing and for public
events we wear M41 jackets with wool clothing.
We ensure all webbing and other items of kit is exact for the impression to give us the most authentic look.
Below is a list of official events that we will attend every year. We will probably attend one or two smaller events throughout the year, but they are decided a few months in advance of it taking place.
