I got a call off a mate in Kinsale last to check out Charles Fort in Kinsale last Sunday (Sunday 14th Sept).
To my surprise the fort was free to the public and there was a wide range of historical equipment supplemented by reenactors.
Among the items on display were, a Medieval Catapult and camp.
British WWI camp, Equipment and reenactors.
American Civil War, both sides.
A variety of Military Vehicles, mostly ex-British, including a SP Gun and a few APC's and armoured cars and a German WWII Kubelwagen.
And a camp of Redcoat Reenactors, depicting the Connaught Rangers of the Napoleonic Wars http://www.devils-own.co.uk/
I thought it was well worth checking out, but apparently it was a well-kept secret, (Note to organisers try more publicity next time)
Apparently this is becoming established as a yearly event in Kinsale during the National Heritage week.
Did anyone else catch the show, what ye think??
