Who Are we

The 23rd Foot Royal Welch Fusiliers Napoleonic Re-Enactment Group are a enthusiastic team of history researchers who strive to re-enact historical events and daily life of british soilders through the period 1809-1812. We take great pride and time in ensureing that our uniforms and all items including the Campsite are authentic as is feesable.

How do we achive this

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 with over 200 Re-enactors alone, we also do many local events Including Cosmeston Lakes, Llanciach Fawr and Cardiff Bay.
We meet at regular drill practices in South wales to practice manouvers and share information that we may aquire regarding uniform or many other details.

In Europe We attend many of the Larger napolionic battles. We participate in Placnoit (Waterloo) Anually where 2,000+ Re-enacters attended in 2005, Austerlitze which boasts greater attendees, La Coruna, Albuera and many other Events in Nederlands, 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 events also provide subadies or even chartered flights !.

Can I Join ?.

Many of our members have joined the regiment by just introducing themselves at events, or by email or telephone after an event, We always have a few full set of uniform should you be intrested and would like to try without having to buy anything, all that is needed is a small charge to cover cleaning costs. Most importantly any one who displays an intrest in Napoleonics are most welcome to join there is no age, race or sex boundaries all are welcome to do as they wish.
