Members go to military shows and trips in Ireland, England and Europe. It is a Second World War group dealing with the armed forces of America in W.W. 11. We have a large collection of W.W.11 artifacts, from razors to small arms and everything in between. We also have a large military vehicle  collection dating from the 1940’s and 1950’s; these include 3 Jeeps, 2 Dodge Weapon Carriers, Austin Champ Daf Ya 126 and M38 A1 Jeeps and Trailers.We go to shows and set up as a W.W. 11 field camp with sand bag gun implacements. There are currently 10-12 people in our group. We some members in Dublin and Carlow and the rest are locals. We are always looking for new members to join our ranks, both men and women, help is there in getting  uniforms and equipment etc, all ages are welcome. We also work with Battle Group South which is a German W.W. 11 group and the London Irish which are a W.W.11 British group. Our soul mission is to keep history alive of the brave men and women who fought in W.W.11 by showing the clothes and equipment they used and carried in the 1939 – 1945 War.Click here for more photos of Battle Group West.
