Veterans of Recreated Wars

 


A good friend (hello Scott!) Suggested I visit Facebook and check out a site dedicated to "retired" reenactors called "The Veterans of Recreated Wars. "  It's a place where they can put up pictures from events long ago and talk about past events and good times.  He mentioned that there were a few pictures of my old group there too as well as people we have not seen in years.



I am not on Facebook but Janine is.  So off we went and explored the site.  It was a nice trip down memory lane and filled with most interesting pictures of all eras of history.  Very heavy into American Civil War and WW2. I only did American Rev War as a reenactor in the 1970's and 1980's as well as with my time with the National Park Service.  I was with the Colonels company 23rd Royal Welch Fusiliers.  It did bring back many memories but not as many pictures of Rev War as I might have liked.  But it was worth a visit and many of you out there who are on Facebook might wish to visit the site evan if they never were a reenactor.  Lots of great pictures of uniforms and equipment.


White Plains 1976



I also downloaded a couple pictures of my group at the "Battles" of White Plains in 1976 and Brandywine in 1977.  I do not know who took most of the pictures so cannot credit them except to say they came from that Facebook site. Photo at the Top of page is from Brandywine 1977.  The  next two are from White Plains 1976.  The last picture is from I did not know where.  But the black and white picture from White Plains  was set up and done by the artist Ron Tunison.

Enjoy!
