Ever wonder what it was like to be a paratrooper during World War Two?? What it was like to wear the uniform, to feel the weight of all the equipment, to fire a rifle, machine gun or throw a hand grenade??? Here's your chance to find out and honor the veterans of the "Greatest Generation"
If you are interested in joining the unit look at this page MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS or click on the poster above. To reach me (webmaster) e-mail reaton1@verizon.net. Welcome to our site for the reenactors of the A Company, 7th
(Light Infantry) Parachute Battalion, 5th Parachute Brigade of the
British 6th Airborne Division. Reenacting the Division during the
1942-1945 period of World War II, our
goal is to bring to the public the historical aspect as well as the personal accounts of the men who sacrificed not only their youth but, in some cases, their lives. With our headquarters Company in
Tennessee, A Company involves members all over Florida. We attend events all over
the South East United States showing up for displays and reenactments as well. During such events we try as best as we can to give the
public not only an overall presentation, but a personal aspect on what it must have been like to be a member of the
British Airborne during WWII. As it is impossible to relay the actual
experience of battle, all we can
do is keep the memory of these sacrifices alive by passing the knowledge that we have gained to the general public.
