I run a well known WW11 Re-enactment group in Hampshire.UK named above.

A brief history about us.. The Group was formed on May 8th 2004 as a non combatant group, to portray the lesser known story on the home front of the Bomb Disposal Companies of the Royal Engineers, operating in the UK between 1939 – 45. The Royal Engineer B.D. units were officially formed on the 11th May 1940.

In September 1940, after just two weeks of the Blitz, there were more than 3,700 unexploded bombs waiting to be dealt with in London alone.

The unknown quantity of these UXBs were crippling the nation: People were too frightened to return to their homes & factories central to the war effort, and key roads and railways were closed for fear of the damage that an explosion could cause.

Armed with the most basic equipment & little information, the Newly formed Royal Engineer sections were sent out to extinguish the threats of UXBs. In some cases, these UXBs were to be defused ‘regardless of loss of life to bomb disposal personnel.

Therefore the group is dedicated to keeping alive the memory of the work of the Royal Engineers Bomb Disposal units during WW11 and up to present day. We are Based in UK. and Croatia.
