I almost joined a Confederate group in the late 70s. They took it all very seriously indeed! But I was on shift work in the Ambulance Service by then, and could never have got enough time off to travel around to the events. One of my colleagues was in an English Civil War group, as a Parliamentary pike-man. But he had to give that up, as it used all his holiday leave.
Great shots of course. But that goes without saying, even though I said it. ๐
Best wishes, Pete.

Not sure I’m fit enough for trudging around in the hot weather with a rifle and pack. Maybe I could be a General instead? ๐

I love re-enactors! If they take it seriously, they are doing a great service of educating people on our history and it is remembered better this way than by reading or studying.

Yes indeed. They had a chap with a microphone who did an excellent job of explaining it all.

You captured the re-enacting in a way that makes it look so real. I particularly enjoyed the black and white images. Sort of feels more “right” for the time they represent.

Really nice shots. I always wonder about these reenactments, how do they decide how’s going to die or do they just improvise?

I think they rehearse a lot so it’s all preordained.
