Icy temperatures didn't deter the re-enactors who turned out in their numbers for this multi-period event at the Commandery in Worcestershire. WWII was also represented with a display from the Victorian and Westerners re-enactment group. Their exhibition was based on the work of the American War Correspondent including Lee Miller who is to be the subject of a new film with Kate Winslet playing the leading role.
Costumed re-enactors from WWII represented the Army, Navy and Airforce also the Home Front and the French Resistence.
Considering this was an early event in the UK 2016 re-enactment season, there were plenty of visitors and the re-enactors put on a great show!
