Battle of Quatre Bras - 2018 Reenactment - Action Cam

Look to a fine summary of the latest 1815 Bataille des Quatre Bras which was organized on the same spot. Some 1500 reenactors were present for the bivouac and the two battles on 19 & 20 May 2018. Thanks to my fellow friends of the 8eme de Ligne (french infantry). Most of the beautifull photographic credits taken by Olivier Cappeliez.

the best part is when they charge they just stand there and talk to eachother

The French just sound so squishy French...definitely good reenactors...go Great Britain and Lt. Col Richard Sharpe! I miss Civil War Reenacting in America. Fun seeing a bunch of grownups playing war because they love camaraderie and history so much.

The civil war reenactment near me just got banned because of its racist. Never mind that we're in Chicago, and the battles are all about the Union winning. Sigh.

[@Psalm144.1]

What do you mean the Civil War reenactment got banned because of its racist? What was racist about the reenactment?

On a l'impression d'y être. Bravo au photographe; clichés splendides 👏

C'est vrai que les images en fin de vidéo sont superbes.

[@patricefauvette1651]

Beaux uniformes, belles images, et ambiance bien différente de ce qu'elle était à l'époque entre les hommes des différentes nations en lice durant cette campagne. 😊👍

[@Psalm144.1]

Nice to see the reenactors not drawing ramrods...usually that results in safety rules requiring high elevation fire!

[@Crispvs1]

But tapping the butt of a loaded musket on the ground like that instead of ramming is likely in reality to make the musket go off and quite possibly do its owner a serious injury.

[@Psalm144.1]

@@Crispvs1 I reenacted for about 20 years. Never heard nor saw of a musket going off by butt tapping on the ground. We tapped.

[@vatanenwarbirds]
