Mission Statement
    Our mission statement is three-fold:

  • Authenticity.  We go to great lengths from the uniforms we wear, to the equip-
    ment and weapons we carry to make sure we are authentically correct;
  • Respect.  We emphasize respect for both the men who fought and died in the
    Second World War (1939-45) and the WWII Veterans we meet at our events;
  • Remembrance. We participate in an annual wreath ceremony to remember
    British, Commonwealth and Allied war dead.


    Professional Military Simulation (MILSIM)
    In the spirit of the British infantryman, our military simulation (MILSIM) standards are
    strict to ensure endurance in the field and to maintain the proper, authentic, wartime
    image.  Only by creating and maintaining such high standards in uniform, equipment,
    and attitude can we respectfully represent veterans of the King's Own Scottish Border-
    ers (KOSB) Regiment who served and died during the Second World War (1939-45).
    We emphasize professionalism, integrity and proper deportment at all events we attend
    as a group.


    Annual Wreath Laying Ceremony
    Each year, we remember the sacrifice made by British, Commonwealth and American
    heroes by laying a wreath at a local WWII monument in Texas.  In connection with the
    XXX (30th) Corps British WWII Reenactors Association, we lay a wreath at a monu-
    ment to collectively remember those Allied soldiers who paid the ultimate sacrifice and
    to instill in our unit, the reason we exist - to honor the service and sacrifice of the long-
    suffering, "poor bloody infantry" (PBI) of the British Army.
