The Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment Living History Group (50th & 97th) has been formed by a number of like minded living historians who share a passionate interest in the period and Regiments of Kent.

​

The Group first and foremost aim it to perpetuate the proud memory of those who lost their lives fighting for their country. The Group honours the memory of both the County's Regiments, The Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment and The Buffs (Royal East Kent Regiment).

​

Based in Kent the Group is a non-political, non-profit making organisation founded in 2009 it offers an opportunity for practical research into the uniforms, weapons, equipment,training and everyday life of the Great War Soldiers.

​

We are a Living History rather then a re-enactment group and our focus is on education and research. our members dress in period uniforms and equipment in order to give the most accurate portrayal of the activities of the time.

​

We attend events to provide displays of uniform and equipment and we also assist people who wish to find out more about their relatives who fought during the Great War or other related research. we are extremely proud to be supported and associated with the Regimental Museum at Maidstone as well as that of The Queen's Own Buffs Regimental Association.
