The Irish Guards Living History Association spend their time putting on displays for the public and attending private tacticals. The static displays are used to display uniforms and equipment for close inspection and to give lectures on history to the public. We also pride ourselves on our cerimonial duties, recreating the changing of the guard ceremony done at Buckingham Palace. The private tacticals re-create battles like the Battle of the Bulge or hypothetical situations to give a greater understanding of life in the field. We also get together with other groups or individuals who portray Canadian, American and other WWII units to view each other’s collections, trade or just meet informally. The Irish Guards is not a political organisation and boasts members from many different backgrounds brought together by their common interest in history.
