Royal Navy Reenacting

There are many groups that portray various formations of the Army and Airforce, you will see there members at various events across the country. However it is always rare to find anybody attempting to portray the man of the Royal Navy, and especially the ordinary sailors. This might be because the uniforms are difficult to get hold of, or that it is much easier to get your hands on a truck or jeep than it is a ship or boat, but that does not change the fact that Britain was an island nation presiding over a maritime trading empire and so the navy is as important as, or even more important than, the Army or RAF. The blog is hopefully going to record my small efforts to help maintain the memory of how much we owe to the men of the Royal Navy.
