Introduction
(note, all photos are thumbnails, please click them to see a bigger version)
This is a brief summery of about a specific historical unit in World War One combat reenacting. Due to size limitations this is an abridged version of our unit history. The 2. Chevaulegers are currently based in Southern California and we are attached to the Great War Historical Society. As the unit grows in membership it will attend other WW1 events through out the country.
We would also like to point out that there are also several other superb fellow Imperial German units and Allied units all steeped in grand history and looking for new members. Some of these include the 6. Stoßtruppen (Prussian Stormtroopers), the Pioniere and Landwehr along with the 13th Canadian Blackwatch Highlanders, the French forces, British 17th Lancers, the Australians, the Yanks and several new units. Please email me, if you wish to contact any of these other units.
By looking through this website, hopefully, you’ll get a taste of the historical value and the excitement and experience of WW1 combat reenacting. Of course reading about this is passive at best, and as a spectator, one is still rather limited though one gets visual sights and perhaps the smell of gunpowder; only as a participate can one fully grasp the depth and challenges faced by the trench soldier; crawling through the wire with gas mask under fire! We encourage you to come to the field of glory. Good luck in your historical travels…
