What is a picture?

It can be many things, a snapshot of history or a story waiting to be deciphered by the viewer. We have a collection of original photographs here for you to view and we hope you like them. Most are related to our beloved Rangers Battalion who we pride ourselves in reenacting and others are related to D-day.
