Hello there, Just posting over from the British side of the WWII forums just to pass on that a new group has been created portraying the 5th Battallion Coldstream Guards. I understand theres a group in America portraying the same so any imput from them or from anyone else who has anything constructive or helpful to day would be much appreciated http://www.freewebs.com/5bcg/ feel free to have a look, were a new group always looking for advice, were going officially active on 1st january 2009. thanks Shift Co-Founder 5BCG
Welcome shifty. Good work you seem to be doing there. Could I suggest that you visit WW2Talk.com also. We are affiliated with them. There is a whole slew of Limeys there and some of them can actually speak English.
What's your Drill like? Are you ex-Guardsmen yourselves? If your Drill is slack at shows I'm sure there'll be a few ex-Woodentops to pick you up on it. Good luck .
Currently we plan to practise drill at every event, with several training events throughout the year to practise it and get it as good as we can. We are not ex guards and so far we have no ex or current servicemen. We want to understandably get the impression as correct as possible and take advice that anyone has for us. The last thing we want to do is make a bad impression with current Guards. Thanks for the advice slipdigit, will put one up there on ww2talk.com as well Cheers Shift
