The 23rd Foot Royal Welch Fusiliers Napoleonic Re-Enactment Society are a group history enthusiast’s who strive to re-enact historical events and the daily life of British soldiers through the period 1809-1815. We take great pride and time in ensuring that our uniforms and all items including the campsite are as authentic as possible.
In the UK Throughout the Year we provide displays to public at many large events, many including full working Living History camps and full scale battles. We also attend events in South Wales including Cosmeston Lakes, Llanciach Fawr and Cardiff Bay. We meet at regular through the Winter in South Wales to drill, drink tea and catch up on events.
In Europe We attend many of the larger Napoleonic battles. We participate in Waterloo annually where over 2,000 Re-enactors attended. La Corunna, Albuera and many other Events in Spain. The 23rd RWF also attends events in the Netherlands, Portugal and France. These trips being mainly for the re-enactors themselves cost very little to attend since we often arrange a minibus or car sharing to keep costs to a minimum. Also some event organises provide travel expenses.
