LIVING HISTORY: OVER THERE 1918

October 6, 2018 - October 7, 2018

Free

On October 6-7, 2018 the Texas Military Forces Museum will commemorate the centennial of the 36th Infantry Division’s combat debut on the Western Front with a special WWI battle reenactment. This event will allow visitors to see some of the most weapons of the First World War in action including a fully restored and operational F17 tank, a French 75 mm artillery piece, a U.S. 3-inch field gun, an MG 08 “Maxim” machine gun, an Austrian Schwarzlose machine gun and a variety of rifles and other weapons. American, German and French troops using period equipment and wearing correct uniforms will demonstrate the tactics employed by the victorious Allied powers during the brutal final month of combat in the Great War. We invite you to join us as we recall the service and sacrifice of American doughboys in the “War to End All Wars.” All WWI impressions and vehicles are welcome. Ample parking and camping. After hours access to tour the 45,000 square foot Texas Military Forces Museum. Once you register we will contact to you to get information on your impression, etc.

Reenactors interested in participation need to register in advance (registration is free). Spectators DO NOT need to register for this free event.
