Early war reenactors are generally higher quality when it comes to the impression as well as the immersion part of the event. We come up with characters that we represent at these events. They have fictional families, have lived through events and are now at war. I find it to be quite fun to come up with a back story for reenacting. This includes having filled out period correct paperwork.
Very similar yes. Especially important for the Legion as they come from all over! My Legionnaire is Spanish (about 50% of the 13DBLE were Spanish in 1942).
Thanks SSgt.! Something a little different and awesome today. Back in Italian Alpini uniform and getting the chance to work with our live-firing (blank firing on this occasion) Breda 37 HMG. WHAT GREAT FUN!!!

I've found my re-enacting look of choice.

You do that, I'm gonna wait for the bird flu to become prevalent again. jk
Back home, back into gear
Algerian War. Zouaves, Chasseurs d'Afrique, Tirailleurs. All the good French African units!
With a new toy. My MAS-36. This is a Tirailleur (North African Soldier) in the First Indochina War (the one before Vietnam :P )
Looking great, as always, PFC Boughen!

My French and Indian War Goreham's Rangers kit; modeled to about 1758-ish. It's the only one I have of me in my kit. https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xta1/v/t1.0-9/12654131_1031300003579052_8246528177802401418_n.jpg?oh=f49727e234acd9aeaef2d1131a726e34&oe=576EEB2D
