We have the honor of participating in a number of quality events during which we discuss the Crimean War, as well as the units that we represent. These Living History events are unique in that most of the American public knows very little of this war. Occasionally, as in this year, some of us also attend events as British Observers. While not accurate as to the event and actual British presence at this battle, we have the opportunity of telling the public of the small role of the foreign observers of the American Civil War.
The above schedule is tentative, and we will be updating the actual event schedule as we receive information. Keep checking with us now and then. We hope to see you at one of these fine events. If you are a visitor at one of the listed events above, please stop by our period display and say hello. However, watch out as we do attempt to enlist all available males, regardless of age, for military service. (We encourage the ladies to follow their men to the Crimea and assist the overworked nurses, as well as keeping an eye on their spouses.)
