Past and Future Events
We attend a number of shows each year re-enacting American Civil War (ACW) period with the
Southern Skirmish Association (SoSkAn)
or participating in multi-period displays.
As ACW we portray a Union Field Artilllery Battery, Battery F of the 43rd Pennsylvania Volunteer Reserve,
supporting our friends of the
42nd Pennsylvania 'Bucktails'.
For multi-period we team up with a C15th Artillery group, The Kynges Ordynaunce, who operate a fine set of three reproduction
C15th hoop-and-stave guns.
Please come along to any of the shows and see our piece in action.

2009 Events:
- 10th & 11th April:
ACW Re-enactment at Wellington Country Park, nr Reading
Our first event of the year and a first for Soskan, Wellington provides
a great venue of open deer park and sparse woodland, ideal for public access to the
Living History camps as well as an interesting layout for the Battle re-enactment.
We were accompanied here by renown Re-enactment photographer and Soskan veteran
Roy Daines
who took some fantastic shots of our 6lbr in action. Saturday's battle saw our position overrun by
Rebel forces, only to ultimately defeat them on the Sunday.

Berkeley Castle Skirmish, Gloucestershire
This is a Medieval Skirmish Event run by Plantagenet Events. During the day there is a
'Gunpowder Through the Ages' demonstration where our Cannon brings the proceedings up to the
19th Century.
- 10th & 11th October:
ACW Skirmish at the American War Museum at Claverton, Bath
The last event of the year. Involving over 100 costumed re-enactors this is
the biggest living-history event of the season. Unfortunately, at short
notice, we were informed that we were not permitted to fire our 6lbr at this event
so instead it became a static display for the public for view.
