Text Box: Joining Steve Day: Rifleman Text Box: either talk to some of these groups prior to settling on this regiment, or have since had a chance to fight alongside these groups. So why did I settle on this motley crew? Quite simple really, they were very well organised, extremely friendly, and an imposing sight on the battlefield (being one of the largest Rifle re-enactment groups in the UK Napoleonic Association). To steal & adapt some words from Bernard Cornwall, I honestly believe I’m in the best group of re-enactors, in the best re-enactment Regiment and lead by the best officers. Our Group also offers some other re-enacting opportunities, including the Royal Horse Artillery, the Rocket Troop, and the 1st Royal Dragoons. I can see myself one day riding on horseback with a rocket launcher on my shoulder; that should put the wind-up the French! We also have a lot of projects on the go and in the planning stages, which includes working with the present day Rifle Brigade (former Royal Green Jackets) and other re-enactment groups. The future looks exiting and very GREEN. So what’s it all about? Typically we attend living history and battle events at least once a fortnight within the re-enactment season, both in the UK and abroad. Not everyone can attend all the events and there’s no pressure applied. Seeing a long line of tents laid out, the Union Jack blowing in the wind, and a camp full of soldiers doing camp duties and cleaning their kit and weapons is a sight to behold. We try to do as much drill as possible to ensure our displays look the part and our tactics on the battlefield confound the French.
