I have done U.S. Civil War Re-Enacting as 'Independent Battery I Pennsylvania Light Artillery.....from 1983-1995. Spanish-American War Re-Enacting from 1998- 2000 as a Ships Cook aboard the U.S.F.S. Olympia which is still afloat in Phildelphia Pennsylvania U.S.A.

I have interest in WW1, WW2, Korea, U.S. Civil War, and Austo-Hungarian Empire.

Welcome to the forum Bretnutz. It's nice have a member with such a wide range of interests, and especially one with an interest in WW2 aviation (my particular interest).

Look forward to your posts, and feel free to contribute to non-WW2 sections as well.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts? Check out this site:
