Fellow WWII re-enactors……….Kennekuk WWII Days near Danville, IL is fast approaching. It is taking place on the weekend of May 4, 5 2013 so if you plan to attend please register on the “eventbrite” website listed below.
Permission was given by the park for us to dig trenches, foxholes, etc. for the battlefield and those will be dug in place by event personnel prior to the start of the event. We also plan to have some battlefield props in place such as Czech hedgehogs, dragon’s teeth, fake wire entanglements, etc.
Camps will be set up to mimic rear area camps with company streets. So if you item you would like to show off as part of camp displays please be sure to bring them. Prior to setting up camp you must stop in and register to make sure you are directed to the correct campsite.
Special note for Soviet / Eastern Front Forces:
Eastern Front forces will be taking part in public battles so make sure you have adequate munitions to take part. There may opportunities for small skirmishes providing adequate numbers for each side.
Soviet Forces will also have the ability if they so choose to take part in various activities which will mimic those which took place in rear area training camps such as PT, close order drill, patrol drills, obstacle course, training classes (observation, range estimation w/mil reticule, etc.). Number of and type of drills and classes will be subject to weather and time constraints.
