Dave the organiser has been let down badly. we are trying to help.
I have been trying to put together a mixed Allied/Axis Display together for this event. Obviously because there is a weapons demonstration as part of it we will need live firing, blank firing and gas powered weapons.

weapons available so far:
Sten, mp40, k98, nagant, ppsh41, mg34, FG42 plus various german pistols. We really need British and American weapons plus bods in uniforms.
Looking for all american uniforms and all types of British. I`m trying to get one of every uniform available to display. I would love to hear from the Italian and Japanese groups to complete the set. Like I said just one of two from each group with or without firing weapons.
If you do any ww2 impression please get in contact and we`ll fit you in.

WW2LHA.... if you are still attending could you let either the event or myself know what uniforms and weapons you will be attending with please.
If we all pull together then we can make the first Allied/Axis joint display made up of multiple groups.
Please PM me if you can help....

Best wishes in your event and I trust that others will answer your call for bodies on the ground many regards Mairtin.

I fully realise that this event is very short notice but if you`re not busy please get in contact. we are heavy on german uniforms but I would like to see the following represented:

Kreigsmarine
Luftwaffe field Div
Panzer tank crew (no need for a tank)
Italian
Finnish

obviously no political uniforms but waffen SS are permitted. If you have an unusual SS impression I could use you there.

This event may turn out to be a national roadshow so even if you have prior commitments please consider the possibility of sending one member to represent your group/impression. I truly believe this could do re-enacting a lot of good taking into account the recent media witch hunt against us. Anyone who has an second Allied Impression would be more than welcome and their group recognised for the help.
Travelling Expenses are paid as well.

Pm me if you can help please.

To Everyone attending this event,
spoke to the organiser today and the expenses are paid with an invoice. If you can print an invoice for the mileage from home to the event and vice versa you will be paid 42p a mile. On the invoice just put `ATTENDING WW2 RE-ENACTMENT AT CHALKE VALLEY HISTORY EVENT` Plus your mileage per vehicle. Obviously if you share a vehicle there is only one lot of mileage etc etc. Bring the invoice with you and I`ll get it to Dave for payment.

Hi Dave

I'll ask around for Lufty Field Division troops. I'm currently trying to build a FD group up but it won't be ready till 2013. I have FD kit but am not the country for this event so can't physically help. Hope all goes well for you.
