Once again I have been reviewing and digitising some old photo albums and came across a few pictures I took at a reenactment weekend back in 2003. This took place at Tilbury Fort in Essex (run by English Heritage) and featured a small number of reenactors talking to the public about the war in the Crimea.

This is a selection of the best pictures I got on the day showing uniform and weaponry from that period. There was also an excellent display by a group of lancers which made this a very interesting event.
Gotta love the hats on those lancers.
ReplyDeleteI always consider myself lucky to have grown up in Portsmouth, with so much of this stuff going on. I guess it definitely left its mark!
