Who are we?

We are a group of members operating within the Cornish MVT who wish to take part in wartime combat re-inactment scenarios. Many of us have & do take part in re-inactments of some degree ,whether simply wearing uniform or period clothing (no age limits need apply) ,to `dress` a scene & add atmosphere ,setting a scene of typical wartime activity ,taking part in battles ,or simply loitering with other fellow nutters. The SW Battlegroup is a new sub-group that will be concentrating on the battle re-inactment. Members will pay a small annual fee to cover insurance fees ,as we will (& are) using blank firing weapons ,& effects devices (ie. Flares ,Thunderflashes etc) Military items & equipment wanted ,allied ,axis or other ,as are new members. All are free & welcome to join. If you`re interested ,or want to know more?
