Some of the best photos taken at this event can be found on Facebook.com fellas! Perry was a star performer and and I would love to see all the Black&white shots in colour if possible though. I think Albert and Perry should submit an article to Skirmish (Living History) magazine early in 2014 as it now has a new editor. I think an item on the reenactment events that have taken place in the Philippines, is long overdue! the membership numbers now really look impressive and all the hard work put in over the past year in manufacturing helmets, guns and uniforms was a gold star performance in it's self!
