Links of the Day: Czech Living History site

Dear All,
My gosh, it's been a year since I started this blog and I've done almost nothing with it! That's so sad!

Well, today I want to share something interesting with you, which is a Living History website for reenactors in the Czech Republic. I got an email from one of them via my contact email at my unit's website (http://rogersrangers.org). It was obvious the email writer was struggling with his English and his email had a .sk ending (Slovakia, I assume). I answered his question about tarps/tents in the field; he asked a follow-up and I answered that. In my second email, I included a link to my own website's trek tarp as well as a link to Tentsmiths who made my trek tarp.

Well, then I noticed on my site statistics that I was getting hits from the Czech Republic and I followed the link to -- guess what? -- a chat board. My first email had been posted, then translated, and my two links had been posted. Since then, I've had a lot of hits from .cz!

Here is the chat board.

Here is their Living History site, with Troupes de la Marine, Rogers' Rangers, and the 77th Highlanders (and Natives still to come).

I shared this with the FandIWar egroup and bcc'ed Tim Todish, and he wrote back that he had been in contact with a Rogers' Rangers unit there for many years. When I hit the British flag icon on their Living History site, I got a translation that told me this was in fact Tim's friends. It's too cool!!

I hope you find it as interesting as I do.

YH&OS,
Sarah aka Pvt. Chauncey
