Genrally these are 95th rifles who dress as French just like the lads at Dorchester. I asked them and they do it at the majority of battle events.

From various sites on Facebook, I've counted mayebe 25 to 30 French this includes a fair amount of artillery.


If you're on Facebook make sure you check out the 21eme Regiment group.

Have we been asked to go here before. I cant remember what was said at the N.C.O. Meeting?

Should we go next year? Would there be a problem?

yep, the 85eme had an event on in Holland at the same time which kept their numbers down, but I think it wss a combination of miserable weather, and going to the same place three years in a row makes 'jack a dull boy'...apparently the English camp was even bigger this year than last, more grasshoppers you can shake a shako at, last year it was ridiculous, 3 plus rifle companies plus redcoats against about 45 French plus one cannon, (that Mona was recruited to fire) Have fun in plancenoit in june its going to big this year,but I am off to Wavre as the 69eme were there and I'm curious

People who organise these events know we are about. Its for me all to do with certain people stopping us from attending.
How big is this event, is it bigger than Dorchester? If so then the French numbers seem a little pathetic. If say the 85eme took 10 and 10 went to Holland then thats only 10 more to add to 25-30 (if this 10 hadn't gone to Holland) making it 35-40 that still isn't that good Add 15 + 21eme to that number then 50-65 starts to look much better. Face it lads we're unwanted too much Cloak and Dagger going on still. Hopefully Kelmarsh will change things but don't hold yer breath.
