Snapshot,

If you send me a PM with your name, alias, and address, we'll enlist you right away into the Department of the International of the Grand Army of the Frontier (now there is a mouthful!).

Snap Shot Randall, out of Norway, is one of our members. Perhaps you two can organize a GAF event in Scandanavia.

Hey,

That's very impressive. Civil War reenacting in Europe. Who would have though....

Sure, why not? We do English Civil War here, my son's an archer in the SCA and did pretty well at Pennsic this year. I came around a corner one time at a "military through the ages" event and almost ran into a Roman centurion - I saluted, said "Ave, Dominus," and kept going.

Hoot Mon, Snaphot!
Outstanding pics, how grand to see so many reenactors over the pond participating! Really enjoyed all the pics, hope to see more of your other events soon.
M.M., All,
In the early '80s I was part of a group of reenactors that slid over from Buckskinning & Rev War into Scottish history. Our group was called the 'Territorial Border Guards', a spot-on kilted military unit complete with Pipes & Drums, the whole kit. We ran the full gamut including camping, cooking Haggis and enjoying a proper Gentleman's drink when it was time. The cadre performed at various and sundry events in the upper midwest and marched in many dozens of parades. In the '90s several 'advanced in age' and did a Victorian impression of the Black Watch as 'Observors in the American Civil War'. We attended several CW skirmishes/events and set up the encampment. It was always fun to educate and relate with visitors and other reenactors about Scottish heritage. Almost everyone had a relative with a bit of Scots in them, some more Scotch than others, but then as long as they were buying it really didn't matter. We always kept an extra kilt around and would dress them for pics, what a hoot!
Sad to say that most all have retired and their uniforms, pipes and kits sold. The cadre disbanded, there is but a small group left that only gathers infrequently for their own enjoyment.
Ah, well, retirement draws nigh and I just know that when I start getting my Social Security that it will be enough to buy me a new uniform and kilt and all the other goodies, and a new set of pipes, and a new...ah, dreams...
Best regards and good reenacting!

Thanks for sharing the photos. Your attention to detail is fantastic and would shame some of our Federal and Confederate units here in the US!

We would love to have you with us on this "side of the pond."

Thanks for all the kind woords. I will send the comander a PM. and to OlGabe. the Scotish re-enactment is really interesting.
I am actually the Sept Chief of Scandinava of the Clan Wolf. another second persona! I portray a Scotish Gentleman in the last Jacobite uprising. Of course I attend to the annual Clan dinner every year at the Alafia Rendezvous in FL.
