Foxfield Steam Railway, July 2003: Such was the impact of my acting performance at Eden Camp, sobbing over having my Crème Egg confiscated by the Allied guards, that a few months later the group decided to award me with an Oscar. I still have it on display today.
TOP RIGHT: Buckinghamshire Railway Centre, July 2003: Another opportunity to pose with Abbie. For over a year I kept this photo as my pc’s desktop. BOTTOM LEFT:
Cranfleet Lock, May 2003: By this time in my re-enactment career, I had discovered that I played a corpse very well, and that British and American re-enactors liked to have a “dead German” to pose with. I was always willing to let them have that glory, but on this occasion it took Matt Leman-Lawrie and myself over half an hour to find a place along the canal where there wasn’t any dog muck in the grass!
OPPOSITE: War & Peace Show / Amsterdam tour, 2003: A doctored photo. Matt and I posed on the motorbike combo at the War & Peace Show in July, then I painted us into an upward looking photo I took later in the year when we were visiting Amsterdam in September.
