The Colour Sergeant
Welcome to the Home Page of Military Living History
and Re-enacting in Victoria, Australia.
The Historical Re-enactment Co.op, visit
"Living History under the Southern Cross" , besides performing Colonial
Re-enactments in general, has recreated a unit of the 40th Regiment, "2nd
Somersetshire". This unit represents the period from 1852,"the arrival in
Australia of the original Regt" to 1855, which was a very colourful time
in Victoria with the discovery of gold, and the huge influx of gold miners
seeking their fortune, and for the 40th Regiment, the incident of the Eureka
Stockade.
As Colour Sergeant commanding this re-activated
unit, this Home Page was created as a jump off point to pages which will
give people an insight to the Regt, what we do, and who we are. These pages
will be updated regularly with articles related to the original "40th Regiment",
and our Living History Unit, plus updated links to other Military Re-enactment
groups in Victoria..Visit these sites often to see the changes.
