And yes guys, this private got himself killed on the field of battle!!

I got skewered by three (3) Yanks after I slew an NCO with my bayo thrust.
The knives entered my neck, chest and stomach, killing me instantly.

After being dead, i got a nice burial and that was the end of me...

Until the next re-enactment...

 
I am reading between lines and appreciate very much your reporting this.
I have never had testimony of guy who got killed and got dead and got buried with picture and immediacy. Your body is barely cold surely.
Were they respectful of you or were they respectful of your body? or just respectful of the dead? Were you dead with piles and piles of others? What did your killer combatants say around your dead body? So many questions.
 
They just picked me up and dumped me with the others in a line and said some words of commemoration, they said they were sorry to see such a young guy, fresh out of recruitment, killed on his first battle.

The Yanks just left me to be picked up by my fellow rebels. They did say something, when i was dying, another reb down...too bad he killed Corporal James...
 
here are some more of the camp I was in:

 
Ha ha. Feel very good! Like the freedom of living. Thank you for sharing! I hope everything goes well with you, and peace!
 
Lovely put pics are very small - done on purpose of course.

And it is green like its spring!
