A re enactor posses during a Royal Green Jacket association event. Riflemen were different, in many ways, to the soldiers that made up the bulk of the British Army. Instead of the classic 'redcoat' with white crossbelts worn by most infantrymen, the Rifles wore a distinctive 'greenjacket' and black leatherwork. This was the first attempt at camouflage by the British Army and was a reflection of the very different role expected of this brand new soldier. And the first mass use of the "Rifle" within the British Army.

About the photograph.
The guy nearest to the camera is a re-enactor dressed as a Second World War German Heer soldier.
Movies often commonly call them the Wehrmacht which is technically more or less correct. They are actually called the Heer as it is a German word meaning Army.
The Wehrmacht is actually, in the German language meaning defence force, and this word is also used to describe any other nation’s armed forces. Thus Britische Wehrmacht meaning British Armed Forces. The Wehrmacht is actually made up of the Heer (Army), Kriegmarine (Navy), and the Luftwaffe (Air Force).
Here in the photograph, he is seen taking a break, and having food. As it was about nearer to 1pm, I thought to give this photo the title of Lunch Time.
As a re-enactor, he, like many other re-enactors, often would try to eat and drink in the same way as it happens in history, which is why he’s eating from WWII German utensils.
In the background, the guy in the baseball cap and sunglasses is one of the visitors looking around, while drinking possibly beer. Notice the camera equipment he is carrying with him, I’ve noticed him around, taking photos with two different cameras hanging from shoulder harness.
I took the shot in colour, but decided to convert it into black and white while in Lightroom, and cropped it closer in Photoshop, for a more story-telling feel to it.
About TANKFEST and The Tank Museum.
The Tank Museum is found next to the British Army military base, simply called Bovington Camp, and is used by various tank regiments.
The writer Rudyard Kipling once visited Bovington in 1923, and saw some damaged tanks left from the First World War. He recommended that a museum should be set up.
However the museum was simply a shed, and was not open to the public until about 1947, when the museum was finally set up.
By about 1982, the museum was expanded and modernized, it housed many various different tanks in the Exhibition halls, along with working tanks which are often show in the live action arena.
The museum also has the only working German Tiger I tank, known as Tiger 131.
TANKFEST is an annual live action re-enactment event showing off various working tanks in staged display, in the museum’s showground known as Kuwait Arena.

In the Kuwait Arena at The Tank Museum, Bovington, Dorset, England, United Kingdom, on Friday 23rd June 2023.
About the photograph.
What you see is a re-enactor dressed as a British Second World War Soldier climbing onboard the Morris C8 Field Artillery Tractor.
Some time before he climbs into the truck, he and the other re-enactors were taking part in a re-enactment event, showing how the British soldiers use a field gun. After this, they attempted to hook the field gun to the truck but were having some problems.
See my photos titled Trouble with the Gun here: link
Once they had sorted it out, they started getting into their truck, like this guy seen in the above photo, before leaving the arena so other military vehicles could come and do display.
The Morris C8 Field Artillery Tractor is often known as a Quad. While the tractor kind of looked like an armoured vehicle, it is actually not so. This is not an armoured fighting vehicle, it was designed to be mainly towing artillery pieces like field guns, howitzers, and anti-tank guns.
It is basically a truck for towing artillery, and often called a tractor.
It was designed and built sometime after 1937 to replace older tractors. A company called Morris designed the C8 which evolved from their CS8 truck. It was designed to be four-wheel drive, carry 6 men, plus some extra boxes of ammunition.
The first models were issued in October 1939. The Morris C8 Quads first saw action in France, during 1940. During the Dunkirk Evacuation, most of those were abandoned, and believed to be taken into the services of the German army.
The Quad was in production until 1945, and during the Second World War, there had been a few design changes to improve them.
The C8 was designed to tow an artillery limber, which is a cupboard-like storage box on a trailer, designed to carry 32 artillery shells for the field gun (explained below) in a box.
The limber/trailer in turn tows a British and Commonwealth artillery piece known as Ordnance QF 25-Pounder. It is a field gun and howitzer artillery, with the ability to combined both direct-fire (field gun) and high-angle (howitzer) abilities.
It was a very bright sunny day hence the strong daylight, and I figured to use Adobe Lightroom to change it into black and white for a dramatic feel, and as a homage to the Second World War, where black and white film was mostly used more often than colour film.

RE-ENACTORS OF CROMWELL ENGLISH CIVIL WAR WEARING PERIOD COSTUME AT A STREET PARK FESTIVAL VENUE EVENT ENGLAND DSCN0908
Samurai re-enactors at a samurai festival re-enact the Siege of Hachigata Castle from 1590 when Toyotomi Hideyoshi's forces attacked it.
At the beginning of the 19th century large houses had many servants, enormous and ingenious efforts of building and design were employed to keep staff out of sight. A common solution was to bury them under the building, Nowhere is this more evident than at Castle Coole in Northern Ireland where the entire servant's quarters were put underground into cellars, lit only by windows at the bottom of grated pits. Kitchens, servant dormitories, larders, wine-cellars, laundry, a brewery and other offices were all located down here, the only means of approach to the main house was through a single tunnel,
