Reliving History

one Battle at a time

The Brick Factory located on Highway 160

Peru Kansas 

is the Ideal Setting 

for a WWII Reenactment 

I arrived just as the solders 

were taking a lunch break

so I wondered around taking pictures

and talking to some of the guys

What impressed me most

 was the period correct uniforms

and Battle gear.

All of the players from the actual war 

were represented,

There were troops dressed as Germans

British, French, American, and other allied troops.
