AS THE country prepares to mark the centenary of the start of the First World War, a band of dedicated re-enactors will bring life on the 1914 battlefields alive at this year's Royal Cornwall Show. The WW1 Living History Group, based at Launceston with members spread across the country, will provide an authentic scene to demonstrate what life on the front line would have been like for civilians and soldiers from the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, the local regiment of the British Army. This includes original uniforms, equipment and even building their own trench on the showground, to 1914 army manual specifications. For the full report, and a round-up of the local news and sport, see this week's edition of the Post.
