![]() ![]() To achieve a realistic impression of either a soldier or civilian during the period of 1863 is not an easy or simple task. As with all hobbies kit costs money and whilst you may be able to purchase the whole shebang at once, we fully appreciate that most of our members are on a tight budget. The obtaining of correct kit was once a difficult task, now, however, things are easier with suppliers in both the U.K and America within easy reach. Please ask about items of equipment and clothing from your own experienced Company members before buying to ensure you purchase what is correct for your units' impression. One major point on uniforms, we are not a "make do" organisation. When in the Authentic Camp, Members and Guests of the Society, should not be in modern civilian clothing at any time during the event except when unloading at the beginning or loading at the end of the event. Any impression should therefore be representative of the issue of equipment and clothing available at that time. The period chosen by the Society to re-enact is 1863. This document aims to set out what SOSKAN considers to be the minimum level of authenticity expected of its members. Whatever American Civil War impression you choose to portray, your clothing and equipment must be appropriate and correct to the unit you represent. SoSkAn undertakes to portray our chosen period of history as authentically as is reasonably possible. ![]()
