Operation Ridge 2020.

​

Around the start of February each year the 1st are invited to participate in Operation Ridge which takes place in and around Darley Dale. It's one of the largest private re-enactment events in the UK, in which both Allied and German groups participate.

​

Chris Morris joined the U.S forces on this event, and acted as a combat photographer. He produced the magnificent video below.

All of the footage was shot during Ridge 2020. I think it highlights the enthusiasm of all groups involved, and their passion to accurately portray the infantry men of the 1940's

Exercise Last Resolve 2019.

​

The 1st Infantry Division joined forces with The Reconnaissance Troop Living History Group and re-badged as the the 28th Cavalry Reconnaissance Troop, 109th Infantry Regiment as a Combat Team Post Hurtgen Forrest campaign, moving into Luxemburg.

​

This was a night event starting at dusk Saturday, and returning to camp around first light Sunday. The video below was shot around 21:00 hrs as the combined units moved out for a night patrol into enemy territory. The objective was to recon the area, and to identify whether the target bridge over the River Moselle was suitable to carry armour/troop transports into Germany.

This video was recorded by one of our members using a GoPro camera during the battle at Tankfest on the second day of the event. We are trying to use these cameras more often to get more footage from events that the unit attends.
