Why? There were like four Europeans who can be documented as observers who "visited" the armies and they wore civilian clothing in most cases. Even more rare than Vivandieres and Gal-Troops.Originally Posted by IrishRifles
You're either a flame-baiting troll or seriously obtuse.

Wow, what a real tool in person you must be.
Do yourself a favor,

Actually, I'm pretty well regarded by people serious about living history. Anyone asking about doing Foreign Observer impressions passes my "tool" test.
Oh, I can be found at many good events and you're welcome to try and make me live out your anal-erotic fetish, it won't end well for you. Jus' Sayin'...
Trolls are the lowest form of filth.

I'd reply in kind but grandma always said.....
Never make fun of the retarded.

Moderator Note: Mr. Berezuk is widely regarded as a serious historian and under normal circumstances I would just delete his comment and the original poster's reaction, however my personal opinion is that the original poster isn't a troll, but asked a question that usually comes out as flamebait. Since this question, along with the original really doesn't add to one's understanding of history, only asks what reenactors do, its easier to lock this one than to pass out infractions for insults. We won't be as nice the next time - don't call out people personally
