In order to prepare for the coming season, detachments of the WLHA's 82nd airborne and Royal Ulster Rifles travelled to Duncannon Fort in Co. Wexford to train with the 101st Airborne and British Royal Irish Rifles squads from the cork based Wargroup reenactment group.  Two days of intensive training covered areas such as infantry defensive and offensive squad tactics, night operations, ambushes, street fighting, house clearing, weapon safety, etiquette and drill. Hopefully this is the first of many future joint allied tactical training sessions which can be used to produce ever more authentic displays at public events. Thanks to the Wargroup guys for hosting us for the weekend.
