Hello,
I'm a member of the 6th Dorobanti Regiment "Mihai Viteazul" Reenactment Group, one of the most prestigious units of the Romanian army. This unit was set up in 1872 and was disbanded in 1947, after the King abdication. So, our group "covers" the three major campaigns of the Romanian army: 1877-78 (The Independence War), 1916-1918 (WW1) and 1941-45 (WW2). Our association was organized in May 2004 and is now composed of 10 uniformed members, but other volunteers joined us during the shows. During that time we have participated on several shows in Romania and abroad. In August 2005 some of our fellows have participated at Shipka Battle reconstruction. We do hope this event will be organized also this year. We also participated on other foreign shows in Hungary and Czech Republic.
We have good contacts with Bulgarian re-enactors of “Traditsia” clubs, especially from Shumen, and hope to develop common interesting projects in the future. I’m happy to find this forum and I would like to share information on Balkan military history with any interested member. Unfortunately, another interesting forum: N.D. Traditzia ( http://forum.traditzia-bg.com/index.php ) which seems to give a lot of information on living-history events, is only in Bulgarian, so not accessible for a foreigner.
This year we are planning two living-history shows in Romania. The first will be held on 13th-14th of May, at the Military Museum of Bucharest and will be dedicated to the king Carol’s I epoch (1866-1914), so it will include also the Independence War (1877-1878). The second show will be probably on 2nd of September. The coordinator of this project is the National Military Museum of Bucharest and the Ministry of Defence. It will reconstruct the Battle of the Arges River, the most important confrontation of the 1916 campaign on the Romanian front, when three under-strengthened Romanian armies, with some Russian help, faced three "Central Powers" armies composed of Germans, Austro-Hungarians, Bulgarians and Turks. The show will be held at Mogosoaia, near Bucharest, in the old fortifications area. This event will have an international size, with re-enactors of Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, France, etc.
We will be very pleased if some Bulgarian reenactment groups will join us for these events, wearing adequate uniforms and equipment. For any interested people we could send a detailed program.
Best regards
