Kration Posted March 31, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 31, 2010 Here's a change from the usual WW2 topics.. We just had the 145th Bentonville event down here in North Carolina and what a blast it was being able to participate ! Kration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arclight Posted March 31, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 31, 2010 That's always a fun event, as long as it's not School of the Soldier! My unit was there, and although I couldn't go, they sent me some great pics. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktrooper Posted April 4, 2010 Share #3 Posted April 4, 2010 How come that US flag is in such a state of disrepair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted April 4, 2010 Share #4 Posted April 4, 2010 How come that US flag is in such a state of disrepair? I am guessing the flag(s) are portraying battle damage and use. RD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFCMcP Posted April 6, 2010 Share #5 Posted April 6, 2010 I saw some photos of that event on the Liberty Rifles's website. Did you guys actually dig that trench with your canteen halves or had the ground been "prepared" prior to the event? In whichever case, the scenario of digging in must have impressed the crowd and the Rebs! John McP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Entrench" as quickly as possible... In about 25 min we managed to dig a fairly decent trench several hundred yards long and about 3 ft deep using only our hands, cups, & tin mess pans.. some Federal units had a few spades but the majority used their mess gear.. To see and be a part of 800+ Federals slinging all that dirt was quite exceptional... Kration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyt44 Posted April 6, 2010 Share #7 Posted April 6, 2010 Some units proudly displayed battleflags that were really just tattered remnants-the Colorbearers always went out front, and were a focal point for the rifle fire of the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
