To do so the group maintains high standards of presentation, discipline and safety at both public and private events.
The First Division has focused its display upon E Company, 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment, U.S. 1st Infantry Division.
In doing so we can ensure that as far as possible the clothing, arms and equipment used gives an accurate representation of U.S. Infantry soldiers in Northwest Europe, with particular attention paid to the assault troops of D-Day 1944.

Our living history activities focus on the period around June 6th 1944.
The Training Centre is representative of those found prior to D-Day in Southern England during 1943 and early 1944.
The encampments are either a pre-embarkation, or a rest area near the front after D-Day or front-line France as the event scenario dictates. The First Division is actively seeking new members to strengthen the position of the unit and the WWII L.H.A as one of the premier living history and battle re-enactment group.
