First world War Re-enacting

Anyone know of any World War I (as in First World War) re-enactors in the UK. Online? Offline?

No, Ken. I don't. I saw exactly two of them here in the states at DragonCon 2004.

One was a German Infantry and one was a British Army Officer - both of them extremely authentic. Very impressive. Here's a photo of the British Officer reenactor.

Oddly enough, I know all the WWI guys from Dragon Con, especially the one in the pick.

IK,

You'll need to register at this reenactor site, but they have a pretty large community of folks. Perhaps you'll find what you need here:
