Welcome to the website of The East Yorkshire Regiment Living History Group No. 10 Platoon 'B' Company. Please have a look at the blog of our recent activities, our photos and much more!

July 16/17th Kelmarsh Hall - Festival of History - English Heritage

This year saw the East Yorks sited up the Hill. This position gave us a good view over the rest of the site but a bit away from the public. There was some rain on Saturday morning. However the weather brightened up by the afternoon and the day remained warm and sunny. The battle on Saturday was chaotic and short due to the Boer War lasting longer than it should have! The battle on Sunday was much better. The timing of the pyrotechnics and aircraft was spot on making for quite a spectacle. It was good to see four full sections of British infantry on the field, with the help of the Spitfire beating up the Jerry positions, the Allies carried the day. All in all we had a good and enjoyable weekend.
Here is a selection of photos with more here.

A superb weekend, I was there with the Great War Society and was very busy. Good to see some decent WW2 British Infantry!
