The First Division in Action

Over the years The First Division has strived to promote the WWII L.H.A and the hobby of living history / battle re-enactment.
To do so the group has maintained high standards of presentation, discipline and safety at both public and private events.
The First Division has focused its display upon E Company, 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment, U.S. 1st Infantry Division.
In doing so we can ensure that as far as possible the clothing, arms and equipment used gives an accurate representation of U.S. Infantry soldiers in Northwest Europe, with particular attention paid to the assault troops of D-Day 1944.
Our living history activities have focused on the period around June 6th 1944.
Our Training Centre is representative of those found prior to D-Day in Southern England during 1943 and early 1944.
The encampments are either a pre-embarkation, or a rest area near the front after D-Day or front-line France as the event scenario dictates.
This book is not a history reference book, but a record of The First Division, its members and it's displays. A record of how we have evolved since 2002
