All our Great War sections has been made honorary members of the Birmingham Pals, a prestigious WWI British Army group.  We also work closely with other WWI re-enactors. </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Great War Nursing Section</B></div> <bR> <div> In 1909 it was decided to form Voluntary Aid Detachments (VADs) to provide medical assistance in time of war. By the summer of 1914 there were over  2,500 Voluntary Aid Detachments in Britain. Of the 74,000 VADs in 1914, two-thirds were women and girls. Our group aims to portray these brave women in a field hospital/casualty clearing post situatio<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >n.</FONT></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Russian Civil War Section</B></div> <bR> <div> Several of our members also possess Red and White Army uniforms or are able to modify their Great War uniforms in order to represent several Russian Civil War military formations. For example by removing their shoulder straps our German units are able to turn out as Frie Corps types with a minimum of fuss or expense.</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table><script language="javascript">document.write('<img src="http://sitebuilder.freeserve.com/servlets/istat?site=20th_century_warfare&page=/id22.htm&outil=ftpweb&n='+Math.round(Math.random()*100000)+'" width=1 height=1>');</script> <script language="javascript"></script> </body> </html>
