Immersive Living History
Living history allows us to gain a detailed understanding of life in the past, and to put academic research to the test. This usually focusses around peacetime training and includes route marches over long distances carrying full kit, and manoeuvres, where we live in the field under period conditions and practice contemporary tactics.
BBC Documentaries
We have worked with the BBC on several projects, including "The Flu That Killed 50 Million" and "Scottish Soldier", providing extras and historical advice.
Scotland Remembers
In 2016 we had the pleasure of working with STV Glasgow at Digging In, Pollok Park filming footage for the Scotland Remembers programme which was shown on Remembrance Sunday.
It was a fantastic experience and the crew obtained some excellent footage, some of which you can view opposite. At times you have to remind yourself that this was shot in a park in Glasgow.

Yorkshire Wartime Experience
The Yorkshire Wartime experience is one of the highlights of the year. Involving living history displays and large-scale battle reenactments, it's a firm favourite with our members!
Wartime Experience - National Museum of Flight
We regularly take part in the Wartime Experience event at the Museum of Flight at East Fortune.
Last year, despite the initially chilly weather, our encampment was visited by hundreds of visitors, and Sergeant Williams (pic) managed to visit the APSS Sopwith Strutter project.
Tanfield Railway
WW1 Event
We had the pleasure of attending the recent Tanfield Railway WW1 event in County Durham. Tanfield Railway is the world's oldest railway, so 100 years ago is nothing to them.
Remembrance
Individual and events
We regularly commemorate those who fell in Great War conflicts all over the globe, such as Gallipoli, the Somme, Arras and many more at events and individually. In the photo above Alex Mallia commemorates his GG Uncle Neil McGlynn, 100 years after his death.
Royal Scots
Museum and Association
In 2018 we began working with the Royal Scots Association, during the launch of their new online role of honour and to commemorate the end of the First World War centenary.
