Inside this issue

  • Dingo — the Daimler scout car, and what it takes to keep one running at military vehicle events.
  • Young Re-Enactor — growing up in the hobby, and what living history looks like from the other end of the age range.
  • Stand Easy — the comic strip.
  • Battle of the Somme — WW1 re-enactment and the trouble with portraying 1916 honestly.
  • Dig for Victory — home-front living history and the civilian side of the war.
  • Battle of Britain — the summer of 1940 and the WW2 impressions that go with it.
  • North Africa — desert campaign kit and the units that fought there.
  • Red Coats — a fort full of them, and what draws people to Napoleonic and Georgian re-enactment.
