The 15th
(Scottish) Reconnaissance Regiment Living History Association is a
reenacting group that
portrays the World War
II British soldier. We are headquartered in Hat Field
Pennsylvania, and
members range all along the Eastern seaboard. We are dedicated to
the preservation and study of the past through the collection and
presentation of 1939 -
1945 uniforms, equipment and vehicles.
Our
primary focus is studying the history, habits, tactics, skills and
deeds of the men who traveled from
Normandy through
Holland to
Germany as
members of the 15th Reconnaissance Regiment. Their sacrifice, along
with many others who tool part in the Second World War, contributed
to the victory over Germany that was
so important for the world.
With
regards to history, it is one thing to read about it in a book,
sitting at home in a comfortable chair. It’s quite another thing to
read about it after spending a living history weekend in chilled
weather, servicing real period vehicles with daily service
requirements as well as looking after one self in the field
conditions.
Another
mission of our Association is to educate the American public on the
involvement of the Allies. We strive to counter the false, but
common impression that WW2 began on Dec
7th 1941.
. As
Living Historians, we hope to clear away the fog to some degree,
so as to give a better idea of what life entailed for those fighting
in Europe, so far
away.

Note: We do not keep, acquire or
have access to Military records for British
Veterans.
