With the unfortunate, untimely and much regretted death of Anthrax, I was reminded of the recent passing away of Bill Mayes, founding member of the Ermine Street Guard, last August.
Would it be considered a good idea to set up an obituary section, next to the Roman impression maybe (or anywhere we want), to honour our fellow re-enactors?
Re-enacting has come of age, many thousands are active in our period alone, and the oldest mebers are approaching an age where it will become quite normal to hear from one of them passing away.
Just a thought.

Greetings Valerius,
yes, it would be good for friends and others to be able to post their messages of sympathy, maybe to pass on to the family of those who have left us?
Regards

It gets my vote, on another forum I have seen this done and it generally works very well and is a good way of remembering members.
All the best

perhaps a photo and or a description of the person and their accomplishments? Sorry to have to ask, but who is Anthrax?

My friends,this is sad news about our friend and co-reenactor Paul
Allen.The following message is from his wife Sharon

> Please pass this to all who knew Paul.
> I have to tell you that my beloved husband Paul,died
> yesterday(Thursday). He died as he lived, doing what he loved.
> It was a freak accident jousting. A shard of wood from the shatter
> lance got through the eyeslit and entered his brain. He never regained
> conciousness and so did not suffer. He went peacefully surrounded by
> his family and love from all directions.
> God gave him to me for twenty glorious years , but now his time with
> us is over. I praise God for his extraordinary life and thank him for
> giving him an end that Paul would have wanted.
> Love to you all
