My name is Craig and I'm from just outside of Milton Keynes in the UK, I'm not completely new to this as I used to belong to the 5/7 air cav back around 98/99 I have featured on the front of skirmish mag back around this time and been part of many battles and displays including belting and Bletchley Park. I have since lost contact with all the guys through joining the forces and life in general but now would like to get back involved as still have most of my kit, I'm a bit out of touch with what groups/shows are about these days and would greatly appreciate any help, many thanks craig.

hello chris thanks for the reply, 173rd sounds quite interesting, I'm looking for an infantry based group as opposed to say special forces/rangers, so would love to know more information and where your based! many thanks!

Hi Craig,
Would recommend the 173rd. I'm their newest member. Met some of the guys at War and Peace a few weeks ago and really liked what I saw. I was in a similar position to you having left re-enacting years ago, only difference is I sold most of my stuff!! Now more or less fully kitted up and ready for my first event with the group at Military Odyssey. Really looking forward to it.
Cheers
Shaun
