🚨PILLBOX WATCH!🚨
It's been a long time since our last update on pillbox watch but Here's an interesting one. Gary found this on his travels, this was taken on the A97 Near Strathdon, Scotland over the River Don. As you can see it's guarding a bridge and a sharpe bend.

We are happy to announce a new member to our already expanding group, Stephen Scrannage.

Stephen said

" I am Happy to be the latest member of the Forces Through History group ...my portrayal is ww2 german forces with fallschirmjager being the main focus ...looking forward to attending events next season with them."

He added how he come to be in this hobby:

"I've been interested in WW2 since childhood and found reenactment by accident. While riding my R6 through the english countryside way back in 2003, I noticed their was a ww2 event being held in a field and pulled over to have a look. I loved the history and the displays that were put on that day and from that moment on I was hooked and joined up on the spot. I could finally put all the information I had learned over the years to good use and educate the masses in a fun and informative way."

Welcome aboard Stephen, we look forward to displaying with you in the future.

What a fantastic weekend at Garlieston's Military Weekend at Sorbie Tower, Newton Stewart!

Sorbie Tower is always a favourite venue for Forces Through History, and this weekend is always particularly special for us. It’s the place where two of our young members first caught the reenacting bug, so it was wonderful to return again!

Although Sorbie Tower is a smaller venue, we certainly weren’t short of activity. Across both days, we were kept busy chatting with visitors of all ages, sharing stories, answering questions and hopefully inspiring a few more people to take an interest in history and living history.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our displays, took the time to chat and helped make it such an enjoyable weekend. We’re already looking forward to returning to this fantastic venue!
