Fall 2013 Battle is Next Weekend Nov 2-3!

We're one week away from the GWHS Fall battle at King's Crossing. Be sure to fill out a battle form which you can download here from gwhsww1.org. The battle fee is $20 and can be PayPal'd to treasurer@gwhsww1.org.

Lineup will be at 9:00 AM and we will begin battle at 10 sharp. Please be on time and ready for the safety meeting at 9. We plan on fighting late into the night. All pyro except flares are allowed.

Some of us should be arriving Friday afternoon for some last minute sandbagging and camping. We'll likely have dinner at Tony's Grill so come on down early!

Brusilov Offensive Event, September 27-29

The Great War Historical Society will be hosting an Eastern Front event based on the Brusilov Offensive this September at the King's Crossing site.

As Legion Russe fought on the Western Front in France, we will not be participating in the event as a unit. However there are two other Russian units with which members may join up. The first is the 195th Infantry Regiment. Modifying the Legion Russe uniform to comply with standards for the 195th will be the most easy, as the only required changes are as follows:

• Blue pogoni with a '195.' cypher stenciled in yellow. Optionally, no pogoni may be worn.

• Mosin cartridge pouches, either leather or of canvas. One or two may be worn.
• Canvas
• Leather
• No French equipment, including Y-straps, bidon, musette, M2 gas mask, and lebel/berthier ammunition pouches. Adrian helmet is the only exception and must be worn.

Dig Day July 27

There will be a formal dig day tomorrow, July 27 at King's Crossing.

Dig it! March 9

Who: YOU

What: DIG DAY

When: 8 AM March 9 2013

Where: King's Crossing

Why: Because digging is our trade.

The back hoe will be out, the sun will be nice and warm, the air clean, and the trenches and shell holes bountiful. Come out to dig with us as we break ground at King's Crossing!

We will need you, your shovels and picks, sand bags, and 2x4's for making trench ladders. We'd also like to put together a separate fund for the Russian legion to have our new funk hole dug out, also with back hoe. The unit secretary will be happy to take your rubles. If you have any questions, email legionrusse.gwhs@gmail.com

Be there or be a Trotskyite!

KING'S CROSSING

Comrades! Once again it is time to sweep the snow from your boots and return to the field as we commence our Spring offensive against the Germans. For love of Motherland and Tzar!

 We will be returning to Kings Crossing this Spring, now that the site is available. We will also be sending in a backhoe the first weekend of March and will be having dig days every weekend in March leading up to the event.
