~ About the Society ~
The Scottish Military Re-enactment Society was raised in 1993. The intention was then, and is now, to ensure that the memory of those men and women who fought for the allied cause during World War II, shall never be forgotten. The Society is a non profit making organisation although it has taken part in fundraising events for various charities, including the annual collection for the Scottish Poppy Appeal. The Society participates in many events during the year. A typical weekend can include the static display of equipment, uniforms, weapons and vehicles. We also have a large tent which houses our audio-visual presentation as well as a "hands on" equipment display. Training weekends can be arranged for Field-Craft, Map Reading, Weapons Handling and, if you are really keen, Drill! (Photos opposite show a Small Scale Raiding Force in operation). Units within SMRS include: a Combined Operations Section in particular the Small Scale Raiding Force, the Special Operations Executive, Airborne (British and American), Infantry, Royal Navy, Home Guard and the Auxiliary Territorial Service. Membership is open to anyone who is aged 16 or over. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with one of the following office bearers who will tell you more about the SMRS and its activities and answer any questions you might have without any obligation to join.
Finally, and most importantly, let us not forget why we do this - for those gallant people who made the ultimate sacrifice many years ago and for those who remain in ever smaller numbers.
