Allies Groups - Australian
West Front
Formed in 1989, the Westfront Europe Association was a living history organisation that sought to actively portray Allied and Axis soldiers from World War II through displays and re-enactment. The high standards set then, are the benchmarks now carried on by West-Front.
West-Front insists on authenticity in every facet of our displays. Accuracy in every detail is recreated, even as far as period mannerisms and military bearing. Where possible, original equipment and uniforms are obtained and hours spent in research to accurately portray the Australian “ Digger”, the English “ Tommy”, the American “G.I.” or the German “ Landser”.
