Photo coverage of the Battle for Recogne 2013
Just like last year also this year a re-enactment event took place in the area of Recogne and Cobru. On Sunday morning December 15th, 2013, at 08:30 the laying of a wreath ought to take place at the monument at the former American war cemetery. "Ought to" is the key word here. When your reporter presented himself at 08:15 nobody was present and no one else was to be seen, worse: even at 09:00 still nobody…
Only around 10 AM the re-enactors’ camp slowly came into life and with some difficulties a section was composed in order to march towards the monument. Once returned in the village not much action was observed and no Germans at all were spotted. Towards 12:00 your reporter left again, on his way to Clervaux, looking for the re-enactors at that place.
Awakening in the village.
Wreath laying at the memorial.
Exhausted back to base.
Also look at our photo shoot of the previous day, the Bastogne Historic Walk 2013. Within short more about the Dutch re-enactors in Clervaux!
