French reenactment, and why they don't do RAT
#1
If you have wondered why you don't see as many French reenactors, and why they don't appear on RAT much, here's an explanation.

Hi,
Richard seems to be trying to get in touch there--- he is absolutely right in that.
Thanks. Shy

I bet Mike Bishop will not like all those leg wrappings and bindings!

Now here is another question.

If anyone can spot me somewhere in the link above, I will send them a signed mini-print.

To make it a bit easier here is a clue, I was not there!

OK

I will give you both a mini-print, send me your addresses via a PM.

I was the model for the two foreground kneeling figures in the painting by Peter Connolly. That happened at Littlecote Hall Roman Villa way back AD sometime or other. That is Chris Haines Centurio from the ESG on the left with the mule. The Painting was from the Legionary book.

Several French reenactors actually are member of RAT. The main barrier is the langage.
