Next weekend ive been invited to a very special event down in Lancashire, its a 1940s wartime weekend 3 charming villages will be transported back in time to the 1940s with everyone donning 1940s garb and uniforms, the band of the Royal Fusileers will be present as will a local pipe band, Ive been asked to attend to play the part of the "Lone piper" at a service of remembeance in the presence of Several genuine WW2 veterans who despite being wheelchair bound still turn out, every year to remember everyone who played a part in the war.
the was some controversy when the event first started about Axis uniforms etc, however as the event is a festival of remeberance and education after consultation with local Rabbis they agreed that young people should get a "flavour" of what the world went through in the 1940s.
heres the website, there are steam trains and authentic WW2 Vehicles its a fantastic weekend and I will of course be taking my camera for lots of pics.

Heres apic from last year wehen I was taken prisoner by the SS
it is actually quite unsettling to see the Axis forces marching into these Quaint English Villages, which for historical accuracy are dressed as occupied France
