B Co. 104 Infantry Regiment
We are a group of individuals dedicated to preserving the history of these remarkable men. By participating in living history displays and authentic battle re-enactment's, we help to bring the story of the American soldier in WW2 to life in the present day.
Authenticity. This is the entire idea behind any living history group. In order to create a "living history" you must take great pains to research and accumulate the items needed to bring to life the time period you are representing.
Our unit goes to great lengths to accurately re-create the experience of the average American foot soldier in the Second World War. From our authentic period camp and the rations we eat in the field, to the clothing and equipment we wear on our backs, we strive to be an exact living recreation of an American rifle platoon during the Second World War.
As a living history group, we also participate in living history events and encampments. By doing so we give the public the opportunity to experience history on a first hand basis. For many veterans who visit us at these functions, we provide a valuable living reminder to the memories of their experiences overseas.
As a member you will start out as a private, a rifleman in a rifle squad. By participating in events you will earn rank and awards. You will have the chance to act as a medic, a machine gunner, a mortarman, or any of the other positions in a WW2 Rifle company. If you have leadership skills, you will see what it was like to command a squad or section under simulated combat conditions.
