friendly atmosphere throughout the camps where the russians and the french live side by side and there's plenty have traditional food on offer. there's still a great deal of preparation going on in the camp and that means hungry soldiers so i have made an executive decision to join the french troops for a little polio nic breakfast. to mormons. it's no frills fair but there's plenty of it and quantity was always much more important than quality of three or four with the green one could say that there was no cuisine at all of that time soldiers ate what they could get hold of or sometimes even steal soup it was quite common in bread were very popular for breakfast and if they could get hold of onions and sour cream they ate that too and soldiers were extremely low maintenance and they managed to conquer the whole of europe eating just bread and drinking coffee. and if it's good enough for the ground our may try some of the best french food they see in twelve.

tuna salad. and topped off with a ruler and. i could see how the breasts of the old soldiers might have been an effective weapon by itself. but there were also plenty of traditional arms it was time to bring out the big guns but that. played a vital role and brought in with the french guns in particular taking a heavy toll on the russian infantry but of course imitating an experience cannon crew with just a couple of days of training is another thing entirely. ok well. but that's where experts like patrick come in. a veteran of several reenactments he's traveled all the way for. from to lick the rule recruits into shape. i just

want to show we could be a moment here only. only under torture only and excellent well i'm hoping that you will give us a few moments of your time to show us the models of the french military if that's what up yes accept to talk in english. with the biggest challenges that you can face well it's what you need to know it's very important to respect the drill as we used to do it commander fast because although here of course we don't shoot a real cannon ball it's it's just politics but it's as dangerous so it's very important for safety to respect all the different steps because otherwise you might . be considerably less than the six hundred cannon that were on display at the road you know patrick's determined that his crews will be a credit to their predecessors this is the interest of reenactments some think we are just young kids playing some all it's true we have never grown up but the other

interesting side of it is we try to make it as accurate as possible so we understand much better all the used to do it in the past because you could really look at it and say yeah maybe but when you do it for real you understand the reasons why and how you feeling about. napoleon's arrival if you have not i am very excited. with patrick visiting from france and the master general himself just again from the u.s. this is an event with a truly international flavor and back among the russians i met a cavalry man with a very familiar access. to the room is a true the lithuanians of attached to britain to their residence. so for phil we need to hear a bit about your story and how you come to take boston baroda come from cambridge cambridge and what you. why did you decide to take both in this.

we're very fortunate in the u.k. i mean you know a group the fifteenth and one of the guys is russian and he also reenacts with. me and they got us the invites aboard you know and how could you refuse. but it's not been an easy journey the regiment may have supplied bill with a new mount but everything else has made the trip from england with him so what you have to bring with you everything everything everything this belts and twenty three kilos we bring all the horse equipment some of which is useful for sleeping as well so there's a damper on the women. that. we have a lot of. it's so much that we had to wear it to get in under the baggage allowance but that's just a great advantage because the customs security the airport it's no problem people

are really happy to see us so did you get any of the questions like what is your purpose coming into russia well i'm going to i'm going to be fighting for you against the french exactly that's all we said and as perfect. as no problem no guns ok just a big sword you know it's in the hole to run. alongside the foreign visitors too broad you know there are plenty of home grown participants getting into the swing of things and this is very much an equal opportunities reenactment. the russians tried to keep women away from their troops but the french weren't so restrictive i'm. always had a bevy of wives followers. rather more official count work is like nasty here. as the french continue yeah nasty would have sold refreshments to the troops and looked after the. and the women in this camp also take on

a number of different roles. there are many different kinds of roles there are cooking doing laundry any kind of help that might be needed like sewing a button or cleaning something but i really don't think anyone would give his weapon to a woman however some ammunition items could be entrusted to us. cooking was the main thing hungry soldier is a lousy at making more. pageantry a part of what makes this event so appealing and it's important to have the right look impressive facial hair can be found the around the camp but you've also got to be a snappy dresser. as you can imagine napoleonic uniforms aren't exactly ten a penny which means that today's reconstruct is have to be as handy with a needle as they are with a musket plus. you have a uniform could you fix it for me please. so gay has been tailoring period costumes

for over a decade. we're going to need think you know the reason why i do this is that it's an interesting job and more importantly i might say i prefer to study history by making things with my own. instead of reading the books from history in this way i get a better insight into events that took place a long time ago and i also run a club aiming to reconstruct tools. that were used to never lay life as well as uniforms. so gay has made uniforms for almost his entire regiment and they're all intricately detailed from camp clothes to full battle regalia. the company to which any soldier belonged could be identified by the red the sword not this singled out the battery as a grenade the soldiers were uniforms made of dog green cloth but they also wore

pants with leg i have a sack a ten flaws. which is to cross belts. was possible so thanks. some splendid uniforms coming to a battlefield near us i just hope they managed to keep themselves clean. much as it would have been back in may seem twelve as the sun goes down the day's work draws to an end dozens of campfires a lit and the smell of evening meals quickly fills the air. it won't be long before reactors have a chance to put the training into action and it promises to be a very special occasion.

since arriving at borat you know i talked with

a newsman frenchmen and plenty of russians but i knew one man was making a transatlantic trip to come and play the most famous role of all. only rule would you please spare us couple of moments of your tour and take us around you'll still camp it would be my pleasure. mark works for a historical museum that has played the role of napoleon in reenactments across europe and his acquaintance with the master general began as an early age i have a french cousin that gave me a small toy soldier of napoleon fifty four millimeter and i still have it and many say that that's when it began at two years old a fascination with the polling in these times with. the uniforms the strategy and tactics the different locations the the great things that napoleon. and he takes his portrayal extremely seriously there's also responsibility that

comes with the responsibility of paying honor to the soldiers who have fought who have died whether they be from friends from russia from all over europe for the grand army was composed of many european nations so as a result of that i have to really take my time to prepare myself to get it right to pay honor not only to napoleon but again as i've mentioned to these soldiers who have fought and died but with an audience of up to two hundred thousand people expected i wondered if he was feeling nervous before the big day i think rather than nerves it will be that of excitement adrenaline looking forward to participating in such a grand spectacle such a great event that's going to be something to see that's for sure i look forward to the front row seat even if it's on a horse. thank you. time getting short everyone was already hard at work across the term and my friend bill was shaping up for an

important inspection. we have to prove we can ride prove that we're. historically accurate. and if we don't pass the right. but at least he won't be facing the officers alone. we have here sergeant williams . and what do you think what role are you hoping to have historically we should be on the staff. but that wouldn't be any fun at all because the staff sit at the back and watch. colleagues from the. and we're going to tag along with them and they should be right in the middle of the fighting so we should get cross swords with some frenchmen.

while bill in the so we're putting the finishing touches to the uniforms i headed out to the main field to watch the procession. pass inspection you need to change it for. this point of pivotal moment because the cavalry in all their finery are being presented not only to the general staff but also to the real safety inspectors who make sure that everything is in its place this is being treated properly and the safety aspects are all ok. and it looks like our two cavalrymen of might be in a spot of bother. such blades are very dangerous we try to take care of our uniforms we don't hit hard with.

some of our foreign friends to blunt their blades because of fears that they might injure someone. very much like a saw it could have cut somebody's uniform. fortunately for bill and solvent williams it's nothing that a good filing won't sort out. and as they trotted away to literally take the edge off i caught up with some passing french infantry. how are you preparing for the big day. because there's a lot of people from different come to this with hormones to get to the first time for christmas for this month so we have to do school for soldiers to be working together and making movies together. and then moving to the battlefield. up at the. so. thomas is a member of the belgian napoleonic society and it's not long before he's giving the

benefit of his experience to some of the younger soldiers. looks like you got a promotion there too sergeant or a trainer i'm lucky the sergeant gave me the complete confidence to train the new guys and so it's always difficult because they're quite nervous with weapons and things like that but for security reasons and of course for the battle we have to to make the venue for all the guys really important so how have you found the drilling has it helped so it's helping because we've read a lot of miles of calls walking it's been arrested for your guys it's going quite back quite fast for the new guys it's learning the schools. the artillery cavalry and infantry and finally on past inspection and with less than twenty four hours to the reenactment it was time to respect some old traditions. every new regiment eventually faces the moment when it has to go into

battle and they mark us with a formal ceremony honoring the flag. for all the bear no said about me. i can show you. the road you know is going to be the first fight for the moscow great ideas and everyone how ms a single nail into their new standards. the regiment is christened. his own little tributes to the owner of the granite is here and drinking a toast to success in battle. three ship. all the credit here was good. and

as the new company continued to celebrate i slipped off to see if i could find a bite to eat or have the chance to try a french breakfast and after a whole day's drilling the russian troops are busy cooking this service i'm going to see if they'll let me join them. and i give you a hand. with your thank you i managed to talk my way into a fish soup dinner. ok guys food's up. and once the ports are similar everyone grabs a spoon some bread and helps themselves to give this really is every man for himself here.

this is really really hard to soup. on the lovely the camp may only last a few days but it's clear that being here is having a real effect on these men. that leaves an impact on all of us here we are oblivious to the course of time rather the sun is our guide we know that we need to get up and dawn and go to bed at sunset we've got no internet connection we don't know what's going on outside this place besides life in the open and the need to share food from the same part of it helps bring people together. with the battle is coming tomorrow but today we enjoy a meal without worrying about whether we'll live or die by the same token soldiers that live two hundred years ago had little thought about whether they would live or die if some of them were killed we're all in god's hands others would say. all being well all reenacted should have little need for divine intervention but it wasn't long before everyone was ready to hit the hay tomorrow would be

a big day for god sorry motherland. well the soldiers of the actual battle have brought him in may have had to enjoy some hot sun but we've got some pretty different weather conditions today but a few drops of rain and black clouds certainly aren't putting the taurus off. thousands of visitors were already making their way towards brought in those fields and a memorial service. this morning is dedicated to the french soldiers that died it brought him to and one of the last fifty's for all napoleon here is to pay tribute to them for the.

course the formalities had finished it was time for the two armies to take their places two hundred years ago in a poland and is all conquering grand army stood here against the troops of general could choose off with russia at stake it was impossible not to be nervous. everyone had met in the camp of been desperate to put on a good show and i was just hoping that all the training combined with some impressive pyrotechnics could see them through so off to five days in camp hundreds of hours of planning and the cost of thousands it comes down to this two hours to do justice to one of the most pivotal battles in the polio make history and i'm pretty excited it's. a few words from general to choose on the first shots were fired and the fields were received in smoke as the cameron's.

by the terrible pounding from the french the russians were able to hold the ridge way behind them several hours. that will eventually gave the chance to retreat with their army still intact. even under the right the crowd was leaping ever seen with the vast majority staying
