The Group
The "Queen's Own" Royal West Kent
Regiment Living History Group (50th & 97th) has been formed by a
number of like-minded living historians who share a passionate interest in the
period and the Regiments of Kent.
The Group's first and foremost aim is
to perpetuate the proud memory of those who lost their lives fighting for their
country. The Group honours the memory of both of the County's Regiments, The
"Queen's Own" Royal West Kent Regiment and The Buffs (Royal East Kent
Regiment).
Based in Kent the Group is a
non-political, non-profit making organisation. Founded in 2009 it offers an
opportunity for practical research into the uniforms, weapons, equipment,
training and everyday life of Great War Soldiers.
We are a living
history, rather than a battle re-enactment group and our focus is on education
and research. Our members dress in period uniforms and equipment in order to
give the most accurate portrayal of activities of the time.
We attend
events to provide displays of uniform and equipment and we also assist people
who wish to find out more about their relatives who fought during the Great War
or other related research. We are extremely proud to be associated with, and
have the support of, the Regimental Museum at Maidstone as well as that of
The "Queen's Own" Buffs Association.
