BORODINO BATTLE - 1812

REENACTMENT 1999

Here we are opening a new web page for the Battle of Borodino and 1812 campaign. We have many photos of the reenactment that took place on Sept. 5th 1999 and are showing 11 of them here. Our correspondent didn't get photos of the infantry, but these views of cavalry action should be of interest to cavalrymen. Above are the busts of the Russian commanders of the Second West Army, Prince Bagration; and of the First West Army, Barclay de Tolly. Note that, contrary to the policy of the U.S. National Park Service, in Russia they enact the battle right on the original battlefield.
