Well, as I arranged, I paid a visit to the encampment of Le Garde Chauvin in the Citadelle of Blaye today where they were taking part in a Heritage weekend.. I finished up with about 150 photographs.
Here are some images that I took. I shall be editing the best and sending them copies.
They have a lot of kit but the 'firelocks' look a bit dodgy to me.
A lot of interest ion the Baker

Not as "dodgy" as some I saw recently.
Speaking of "dodgy" , why is that reenactors all over the globe seem to include a lot of gray headed, pot bellied, old men that are totally unfit for service in any army by anybodies stretch of imagination?
