We are a group that research and re-enact Victoria’s Early Military History.
Aims and Objectives:
- To research the history of the Victorian Colonial Infantry Regiments with particular reference to the
Volunteer Rifles in the period 1865 – 1918, and particularly the Mt Alexander Rifles Regiment, West Melbourne
Rifles, Victorian Scottish Regiment and 22nd Battalion AIF. - To establish and maintain a living history group to recreate the the above regiments in the 1865 – 1918 period.
- To research and preserve the skills and attributes of the 19th Century Rifleman.
- To provide a resource to other historical organizations and the Community at large, and to support
Victorian infantry regiments in preserving their history.
