Dedicated to accurately portraying the American Soldier of 1941-1945

Welcome to the Screaming Eagles World War II American soldier living history group. Our team recreates the look and feel of American soldiers between 1941 and 1945. We portray ourselves on the 101st Airborne Division of the period, known as the "Screaming Eagles".  The group has grown from small beginnings into a large team of friends with many vehicles, weapons, uniforms and equipment. We focus on three units from the 101st Airborne Division, the 506th PIR, the 326th Engineers and the 327th Glider.  Our aim is to provide an authentic reproduction of how a unit of the 101st Airborne would have looked from 1943 to 1945.  We have a variation of uniforms in addition to the standard battle uniform that we can display, including MP uniforms and dress uniforms.  Our MP re-enactment provides authentic security look for an event and we can portray troops in standard MP uniforms or provide MP´s in dress uniform.  At an event we can set up a camp that will portray a small GI unit based at a staging area ready to be mobilised up to the lines.

The group is based in the South of England, but we have and we do welcome members from around the country and from overseas. The group meets on a regular basis and we also have regular training days. Our group is administered by a committee of five members, but EVERYONE has a say at running the group. New members will join as a private and will initially be assigned to the 506th PIR. You will be able to move on to other units and you can earn rank depending on the length of your membership and on the number of events and training days you attend. Authenticity is a must, we do not want to see coke cans, cling filmed sandwiches or plastic carrier bags at out displays.

For a good time, chances to meet sociable people and to help the public remember what young men and women went through during WWII come and join the Screaming Eagles Living History Group.
