| THE KOSB AT WAR 1939-45 A Second World War Historical Reenactment Unit in Texas, commemorating the service and sacrifice of the 6th King's Own Scottish Borderers in Northwest Europe 1944-45 |
| JUNE 2009 REPORT |
Honoring the Forgotten Front 6th KOSB Historical Reenactment Unit hosted a photo shoot at the Camp Anderson Military Museum, FM 1774 near Anderson, Texas. The brainchild of MVPA member and WWII reenactor Jesse Hernandez, Camp Anderson contains over 200+ acres of rolling Texas farmland which houses Jesse's incredible collection of WWII and modern armored vehicles including a large museum dedicated to the American soldier. Camp Anderson also houses a two-story barracks, mess hall and prepared, dug-in positions around the property, making it, in the eyes of many historians, "a reenactors paradise". Jesse gave us permission to take photos in preparation for our 2009 China-Burma-India (CBI) National Battle, to be hosted by Camp Anderson and 6th KOSB Historical Reenactment Unit. We chose this weekend to stage a photo shoot and capture members of the unit in the standard British WWII "Jungle Green" uniform and thereby honor the men who served on the Forgotten Front in Burma. Our thanks to professional photographer Jamie Josephs who captured these photos of us and to Jesse and his wife and daughters who came out on this rainy, hot, humid day to host us! |
