Hi and welcome to our
website my name is Captain Bob Cairns and I would
like to tell you a brief history about our group and
what we do.
The group was formed some
twenty years ago by two guys who had an interest in
VIETNAM and collecting memorabilia from that period. We
have had many formats and the groups name has been
changed a few times but we are recognised as the top
group of it's kind that portray the 1ST CAV DIVISION in
VIETNAM 1968-1969
We have twenty plus members
of various ages and from all walks of life who are all
dedicated to what they do. We take part in Living
History displays all over the country, the biggest being
THE WAR AND PEACE SHOW in Kent and from our photographs
on the website you will see we can put on a very
impressive display. All of our equipment is genuine
from the Vietnam war period, from clothing to weapons
and personal effects, we would not have it any other
way.
Although we don't do so
many now we do stage battles at various sites around the
country as it gives all our members the feel of having
to carry sixty odd pounds of equipment around all day
and also living rough for a weekend.
Our aim is not to glorify
war as i feel that would be wrong, as our main objective
is to educate the public about what the life of a
soldier in Vietnam was like for the 365 days that they
were there, and going by the positive feedback we get
from Vietnam Veterans we are getting it right.
I hope you enjoy our
website and please leave a message in our guestbook
giving us your thoughts on the group and if you think
you are up to it why don't you apply to join us "WELL
ARE YOU UP TO IT???"
