Battle Of The Buldge Part II...


The battle of the Buldge reenactment was held January 27 to the 31, but the only parts open to the public were on Saturday the 31. During that day there is two battles held for the public along with the barracks the re-enactors are staying in. I am not sure what they do the rest of the week but they did have at least one large battle the day we were their that included vehicles of various sizes. Those battles are not open to the public and I believe the only ones that can attend them are WW2 veterans. If you have never attended one of these events they are just amazing. The people that do the reenactments spend allot of money on weapons, clothing and other items to be historically correct. While they are at the events they remain in character by what they eat, do and say. As a historian and history buff I just love the realism they bring to the events. These re-enactors and events have become one of my favorite things to do and photograph.
