MEMBERS
Here is a list of our members: WIP
The Command Team
Jack: Dara-Leftenenant (2nd Lt) UNIT CO
Jack has been re enacting for 6 years, portraying 7 different nations spanning 70 years, he became interested in re enacting Irish forces due to his own family hailing from Ireland plus the obscurity of Irish military history on the international stage. After many many hours of research he finally decided to set up a living history group portraying the Irish forces throughout the 20th Century (the first of it's kind in the UK). He is the unit CO and is the rank of Dara-Lefteanant (2nd Lt)
